However, they are generally not interpretable. Understanding NN decisions is crucial, especially in safety-critical domains such as medicine. This work presents a new method to provide local explanations for classifications of signals made by NNs. Our method extends the Sig-LIME explanation method from one-dimensional signals to multidimensional signals by introducing new perturbation techniques. We evaluate the proposed method on an NN that classifies the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) applied by a ventilator. The evaluation shows that the generated explanations are plausible, stable and concise.en#PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE#Proceedings on automation in medical engineering20261Infinite Science GmbHhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Technology::620: EngineeringLocal explanations for classification of ventilation data by neural networksConference Paper10.18416/AUTOMED.2026.2511
