UnlearnRec shows strong unlearning results. Across datasets and backbones, UnlearnRec achieves MI-BF and MI-NG values above 1.

Hence, masks associated with them should contribute to (through the sum over masks) highlighting minimally salient regions. In contrast, masks associated with high distances contribute to highlighting maximally salient regions2. Select...

Weights based on these distances are very close together and hence do not distinguish the importance of one mask from another in a numerically significant way in the RISE algorithm.

While this would not typically be considered an embedded space vector, it is structurally similar and can be interpreted as a kind of semantic vector in an albeit quite arbitrary but in fact also quite well defined space.

As well as thus providing our opinionated guide on how to interpret the attribution maps, this will cover aspects of performance that are overly complex to quantify.

first impression is that these attributions seem slightly less sharp in their delineations of the salient areas of interest. This might be an artifact of the model or of the fact that the pa- rameters used in both cases may be less ideal for this model than for the image-versus-image cases. Nevertheless, the performanc...
