Deep learning has emerged as a promising tool for automating gastrointestinal (GI) disease diagnosis. However, multi-class GI disease classification remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by presenting a framework that uses advanced models like InceptionNetV3 and ResNet50, combined with boosting algorithms (XGB, LGBM), to classify lower GI abnormalities. InceptionNetV3 with XGB achieved the best recall of 0.81 and an F1 score of 0.90. To assist clinicians in understanding model decisions, the Grad-CAM technique, a form of explainable AI, was employed to highlight the critical regions influencing predictions, fostering trust in these systems. This approach significantly improves both the accuracy and reliability of GI disease diagnosis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
