- 用图卷积网络分析骨架数据,比较两种解释方法
- SHAP更准但慢,Grad-CAM快且定位空间特征
- 适合医疗等高风险场景下模型可解释性决策
使用可解释人工智能(XAI)技术解释机器学习(ML)模型已成为提升透明度和可信度的关键,尤其在医疗等高风险领域。本文针对人体动作识别(HAR)任务,基于图卷积网络(GCNs)对两种主流解释方法——SHAP(Shapley Additive Explanations)与Grad-CAM(Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping)进行对比分析。研究采用两个真实世界数据集中的骨架数据,包括一个涉及脑瘫(CP)的医疗关键案例,通过量化与定性评估,考察特征重要性排序、可解释性及模型敏感性。结果表明:SHAP提供细粒度输入特征归因,而Grad-CAM生成快速、空间聚焦的解释,二者互补。该研究为特定应用场景下选择合适解释方法提供了依据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Explaining machine learning (ML) models using eXplainable AI (XAI) techniques has become essential to make them more transparent and trustworthy. This is especially important in high-stakes domains like healthcare, where understanding model decisions is critical to ensure ethical, sound, and trustworthy outcome predictions. However, users are often confused about which explanability method to choose for their specific use case. We present a comparative analysis of widely used explainability methods, Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) and Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), within the domain of human activity recognition (HAR) utilizing graph convolutional networks (GCNs). By evaluating these methods on skeleton-based data from two real-world datasets, including a healthcare-critical cerebral palsy (CP) case, this study provides vital insights into both approaches' strengths, limitations, and differences, offering a roadmap for selecting the most appropriate explanation method based on specific models and applications. We quantitatively and quantitatively compare these methods, focusing on feature importance ranking, interpretability, and model sensitivity through perturbation experiments. While SHAP provides detailed input feature attribution, Grad-CAM delivers faster, spatially oriented explanations, making both methods complementary depending on the application's requirements. Given the importance of XAI in enhancing trust and transparency in ML models, particularly in sensitive environments like healthcare, our research demonstrates how SHAP and Grad-CAM could complement each other to provide more interpretable and actionable model explanations.
