Enhancing the Explainability of AutoML and Deep Learning Techniques for Lumpy Skin Disease Detection Using Model Agnostic Explainable AI
摘要
Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting cattle, necessitating early and accurate detection for effective disease control. This study explores the application of automated machine learning (AutoML) and deep learning (DL) techniques for LSD classification using epidemiological and geographical data. We evaluate multiple models, including TPOT (AutoML), Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bidirectional LSTM (BILSTM), Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs), Bidirectional GRU (BIGRU), and Deep Belief Networks (DBNs), across two train–test split ratios (80–20 and 70–30), validated with KFold and StratifiedKFold cross validation. To enhance model transparency, Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) is applied to the best-performing model, providing insights into feature importance and improving trust in AI-driven diagnostics.
