Significance: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) show the potential for automated classification of different cancer lesions. However, their lack interpretability and explainability makes CNNs less than understandable. Furthermore, may incorrectly concentrate on other areas surrounding salient object, rather network’s attention focusing directly object to be recognized, as network has no incentive focus solely correct subjects detected. This inhibits reliability CNNs, especially biomedical...
