Abstract

Brain tumor classification from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a critical task in medical diagnostics that demands both high accuracy and clinical interpretability. This research presents NeuroCAM-X, a novel explainable hybrid artificial intelligence framework that integrates deep learning-based MRI image analysis with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)-enabled clinical report interpretation for comprehensive brain tumor diagnosis. The system employs an EfficientNet-B0 architecture achieving 97.0% classification accuracy on a dataset of 7,023 MRI images. Unlike conventional approaches that rely solely on imaging data, NeuroCAM-X implements a hybrid decision engine that cross-validates MRI predictions with OCRextracted clinical findings, achieving an 87.5% agreement rate for diagnostic consistency. The framework incorporates multiple Explainable AI (XAI) techniques—Grad-CAM, SHAP, and LIME—to provide complementary visual interpretations of model predictions with 94.3% alignment to expert-identified tumor regions. In addition, the system includes automated tumor analytics for quantitative assessment and staging to support clinical decision-making. A production-ready web application provides patient management, interactive diagnostic visualization, and automated report generation. Preliminary clinical evaluation demonstrated high physician trust (4.2/5.0) and satisfaction (4.4/5.0), indicating the framework's potential for clinical deployment. This work addresses critical gaps in medical AI by combining accurate classification, multimodal data integration, explainable AI, quantitative analytics, and clinical decision support within a unified framework suitable for real-world healthcare applications

AI and Bullshit

It is argued that both AI and bullshitters are untrustworthy informants, and for similar reasons, it is natural to describe AI’s informational outputs as bullshit, as it signals their distinctive kind of epistemic deficiencies, which they share with bullshit.

Advancing stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: a systematic review of machine learning-based risk prediction models

In light of the pervasive methodological limitations identified, including high analytic risk of bias, absence of external validation, and lack of model interpretability, claims of ML superiority over CHA2DS2-VASc must be interpreted with caution.

Reinforcement Loads Prediction of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Structures Using Explainable and Nonexplainable Machine Learning Approaches

This study presents three advanced machine learning models: the evolutionary Gaussian process inference model, the artificial satellite search algorithm–moment balance machine (ASSA-MBM), and the Operation Rain Forest (ORF), which are designed to predict the maximum reinforcement load in geosynthetic-reinforced soil structures. These models were developed to enhance both predictive accuracy and model interpretability by incorporating state-of-the-art optimization algorithms and explainable machine learning frameworks. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted using 10-fold cross-validation, and the proposed models were benchmarked against previously developed AI models from literature, as well as traditional and semiempirical approaches such as Rankine, Coulomb, and K -stiffness. Among the proposed models, ASSA-MBM consistently achieved the best performance, recording the lowest testing root mean squared error (0.617), the highest correlation coefficient ( R = 0.918 ), and the highest reference index ( RI = 0.951 ). Additionally, the ORF model offers transparency by generating mathematical regression equations, which are crucial in geotechnical engineering.
