Ablation-CAM: Visual Explanations for Deep Convolutional Network via Gradient-free Localization

TLDR
This approach – Ablation-based Class Activation Mapping (Ablation CAM) uses ablation analysis to determine the importance of individual feature map units w.r.t. class to produce a coarse localization map highlighting the important regions in the image for predicting the concept.
Abstract
In response to recent criticism of gradient-based visualization techniques, we propose a new methodology to generate visual explanations for deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) - based models. Our approach – Ablation-based Class Activation Mapping (Ablation CAM) uses ablation analysis to determine the importance (weights) of individual feature map units w.r.t. class. Further, this is used to produce a coarse localization map highlighting the important regions in the image for predicting the concept. Our objective and subjective evaluations show that this gradient-free approach works better than state-of-the-art Grad-CAM technique. Moreover, further experiments are carried out to show that Ablation-CAM is class discriminative as well as can be used to evaluate trust in a model.

Improving Explainability of Integrated Gradients with Guided Non-Linearity

TL;DR: In this paper, a guided nonlinearity is proposed to propagate gradients more effectively through non-linear units (e.g., ReLU and max-pool) so that only positive gradients backpropagate through nonlinear units.
