Bridging AI and Clinical Reasoning: Abductive Explanations for Alignment on Critical Symptoms

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2602.13985v2 Announce Type: replace Artificial intelligence (AI) has nstrated strong potential in clinical diagnostics, often achieving accuracy comparable to or exceeding that of human experts. A key challenge, however, is that AI reasoning frequently diverges from structured clinical frameworks, limiting trust, interpretability, and adoption. Critical symptoms, pivotal for rapid and accurate decision-making, may be overlooked by AI models even when predictions are correct. Existing post hoc explanation methods provide limited transparency and lack formal guarantees.
