Abstract: A method for training a locally interpretable model includes obtaining a set of training samples and training a black-box model using the set of training samples. The method also includes generating, using the trained black-box model and the set of training samples, a set of auxiliary training samples and training a baseline interpretable model using the set of auxiliary training samples. The method also includes training, using the set of auxiliary training samples and baseline interpretable model, an instance-wise weight estimator model. For each auxiliary training sample in the set of auxiliary training samples, the method also includes determining, using the trained instance-wise weight estimator model, a selection probability for the auxiliary training sample. The method also includes selecting, based on the selection probabilities, a subset of auxiliary training samples and training the locally interpretable model using the subset of auxiliary training samples.

Abstract: A medical device holding assembly includes a carrier sheath, which carries an endoluminal medical device such as an embolization coil. The assembly also includes a housing including at least one holding element to hold the sheath, and a fixation device attached to the housing and coupled to the sheath. The fixation device includes a locking element having an unlocked configuration, which allows the sheath to slide relative to the housing, and a locked configuration, which fixes the sheath to the housing. A lock actuator is configured to lock permanently the locking element into the locked configuration. As a result, the sheath with the medical device held therewithin cannot be removed from the holding assembly during the deployment procedure, thereby ensuring that the procedure can be carried out by a single person and also protecting the integrity of the medical device before it is deployed into a patient.
