SmoothGrad: noise-averaged gradient sensitivity maps

Averages sensitivity maps over Gaussian perturbations of an input to reduce visually noisy saliency, and studies visualization choices and training-time noise.

What is recorded here?

Averages sensitivity maps over Gaussian perturbations of an input to reduce visually noisy saliency, and studies visualization choices and training-time noise.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

Visual coherence is evaluated on selected image models and does not certify causal faithfulness, completeness or robustness. Monte Carlo averaging approximates a smoothed map, not the exact unsmoothed gradient.
