Abstract

The state of the art of medical application that being implemented are mostly based on common machine learning model. Nevertheless, one of the drawbacks of the practice of medical diagnosis is the lack of explanation on the proposed solution, which is also known as a black box, without knowing the in- ternal decision process between the input and output. It will lead to untrustwor- thiness and difficult to understand by the medical expert. They are questioning how the complexity of machine learning methods decide on the output without clear and understandable explanations. Moreover, in machine learning field the characteristic of a black box model may lead to biased data analysis and incor- rect output decisions. There is work that uses visual analytics techniques to in- terpret the machine learning output to ease the understanding of medical ex- perts. However, the functionality of existed and combined visual analytics tech- niques is not sufficient to visualized and interpreted the output of machine learning operation. Other visual analytic techniques faced the same problem, unreliability to produce strong reason on the output when working with com- plex machine learning models. This paper analyzed several visual analytics ap- proach instantiated in machine learning algorithm for medical record analytics. The motivation of this paper is to allow medical experts to understand the inter- pretation of a black box machine learning model in predicting medical outcome. This paper studied on the effectiveness of visual analytics techniques to identify the appropriate technique to be instantiated to the machine learning algorithm to further elaborate the results obtained by demonstrating transparency, interpreta- bility and explainability of the machine learning algorithm. The visual analytics that are been studied are Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) and Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Based on the comparison of LIME and SHAP methods, this paper found that SHAP has consistent inter- pretability as compared to LIME.
