Abstract

We adapted two explainability methods commonly used in image classification, KernelSHAP and Grad-CAM, to colonoscopy video classification.We evaluated their plausibility by measuring how well their approximation of EndoFMLV’s visual focus for polyp class predictions aligned with the visible polyp region. Both methods showed low plausibility, and plausibility alone could not reveal model faults reliably.
