The paper "Grad-CAM++: Improved Visual Explanations for Deep Convolutional Networks" addresses the issue of explainability in deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). It proposes a generalized method called Grad-CAM++ to provide better visual explanations of CNN model predictions, particularly in terms of object localization and handling multiple object instances in a single image. The method uses a weighted combination of the positive partial derivatives of the last convolutional layer feature maps with respect to a specific class score to generate visual explanations. The authors derive closed-form solutions for the pixel-wise weights and higher-order derivatives, making the method computationally efficient. Extensive experiments on standard datasets, including ImageNet and Pascal VOC, show that Grad-CAM++ provides more faithful and human-interpretable visual explanations compared to the state-of-the-art method, Grad-CAM. The paper also explores the application of Grad-CAM++ in tasks such as image captioning and 3D action recognition, demonstrating its effectiveness in these domains. Additionally, the authors discuss the potential of using Grad-CAM++ for knowledge distillation in teacher-student learning settings.The paper "Grad-CAM++: Improved Visual Explanations for Deep Convolutional Networks" addresses the issue of explainability in deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
