Saliency methods can aid understanding of deep neural networks. Recent years have witnessed many improvements to saliency methods, as well as new ways for evaluating them. In this paper, we 1) present a novel region-based attribution method, XRAI, that builds upon integrated gradients (Sundararajan et al. 2017), 2) introduce evaluation methods for empirically assessing the quality of image-based saliency maps (Performance Information Curves (PICs)), and 3) contribute an axiom-based sanity check for attribution methods. Through empirical experiments and example results, we show that XRAI produces better results than other saliency methods for common models and the ImageNet dataset.

  1. Systematic Evaluation of Attribution Methods: Eliminating Threshold Bias and Revealing Method-Dependent Performance Patterns

    cs.LG 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Averaging IoU across many thresholds ranks XRAI above LIME and Integrated Gradients variants on HAM10000, and shows single-threshold attribution rankings are unstable.
