XAI Vision Inspector — Interactive Explainable AI Dashboard
============================================================
A professional Streamlit dashboard for visualizing how CNN models make decisions,
using four XAI methods implemented from scratch:
• Grad-CAM / Grad-CAM++ — gradient-weighted class activation maps
• Integrated Gradients — path-integral attribution from a baseline
• Occlusion Sensitivity — perturbation-based importance maps
• SmoothGrad — noise-averaged gradient saliency
Run with:
streamlit run app.py

Decomposes the IG gradient trajectory matrix G ∈ Rn_steps × H×W per channel via truncated SVD.
Top-k singular vectors capture dominant spatial gradient patterns; per-step alignment scores

downweighting noisy steps near α=0 (zero baseline).

"full_name": "SmoothGrad: Removing Noise from Gradients",
"paper": "Smilkov et al., 2017 — https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03825",
"how": "Adds Gaussian noise to the input N times, computes gradients for each noisy copy, and averages them. This denoises the gradient signal and reveals more stable attribution patterns.",
"strengths": "Pixel-level resolution. Denoises vanilla gradients. Easy to combine with other methods.",
"limitations": "Requires N backward passes. Noise level σ is a hyperparameter. Doesn't satisfy completeness.",
"axioms": "Improves visual quality of gradient saliency but doesn't add new axiomatic guarantees.",
},
"Eigen-IG": {
"full_name": "Eigen-Integrated Gradients (Eigen-IG)",
"paper": "Proposed hybrid (based on Integrated Gradients + Eigen-CAM principles)",
"how": "First computes standard Integrated Gradients along the path from baseline to input, then applies low-rank SVD (principal component analysis) on the resulting attribution tensor to retain only the top principal directions. This produces sparser and often more faithful explanations by removing noisy components while preserving the axiomatic properties of IG.",
"strengths": "Combines pixel-level resolution and axiomatic guarantees of IG with the denoising/sparsity benefits of Eigen decomposition. Often yields sharper, less noisy maps than vanilla IG.",
"limitations": "Adds a small computational overhead for SVD. Number of components (n_components) is a new hyperparameter that needs tuning. Still depends on baseline choice like standard IG.",
"axioms": "Inherits Sensitivity, Implementation Invariance, and approximate Completeness from Integrated Gradients. Eigen re-weighting improves sparsity without breaking core axioms.",
