Reflections on explainable artificial intelligence for predicting dengue outbreaks in Bangladesh

Explainable artificial intelligence for predicting dengue outbreaks in Bangladesh using eco-climatic triggers," presents an advance method on artificial intelligence (AI) in the integration of data science and epidemiology combining with machine learning (ML) techniques. We reflect here on XAI's vast implication in public health research. Its potential to inform climate sensitive diseases prediction in low level income settings. Dengue is one of the fastest growing public health challenge in densely populated and climate-sensitive regions like Bangladesh. We developed a novel framework on this study that combines predictive accuracy with interpretability and expandability against this fast growing health problem through XAI. It enables the actionable insights for early warning systems (EWS) and disease prevention.
