CUE-X: A Framework for the Automatic Evaluation of Clinical Usefulness of Explanations for the Multimorbidity Problem
摘要
This paper introduces CUE-X, a novel evaluation framework designed to automatically assess the clinical usefulness of explanations generated by decision support systems for managing multimorbidity. CUE-X uses three evaluation dimensions: patient case relevance, evidence support, and comprehension. A prospective evaluation study involving Canadian and American physicians demonstrated the framework’s feasibility and showed alignment between CUE-X evaluations and physician assessments. These findings contribute to research on integrating human-centered evaluation metrics into the XAI field, paving the way for improving the uptake of decision support systems in clinical practice.
