# MedicalPatchNet: Model Weights |
|
|
|
This repository hosts the pre-trained model weights for **MedicalPatchNet** and the baseline **EfficientNet-B0** model, as described in our paper **MedicalPatchNet: A Patch-Based Self-Explainable AI Architecture for Chest X-ray Classification** [TODO ADD LINK]. |
|
|
|
For the complete source code, documentation, and instructions on how to train and evaluate the models, please visit our main GitHub repository: |

## Overview |
|
|
|
MedicalPatchNet is a self-explainable deep learning architecture designed for chest X-ray classification that provides transparent and interpretable predictions without relying on post-hoc explanation methods. Unlike traditional black-box models that require external tools like Grad-CAM for interpretability, MedicalPatchNet integrates explainability directly into its architectural design. |
|
|
|
### Key Features |
|
|
|
- **Self-explainable by design**: No need for external interpretation methods like Grad-CAM. |
|
- **Competitive performance**: Achieves comparable classification accuracy to a standard EfficientNet-B0. |
|
- **Superior localization**: Significantly outperforms Grad-CAM variants in pathology localization tasks. |
|
- **Faithful explanations**: Saliency maps directly reflect the model's true reasoning. |
