Abstract

The increasing complexity of deep learning models can make it difficult to interpret and fit models beyond a purely accuracy-focused evaluation. This is where interpretable and [ eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)explainable Artificial Intelligence (AI) come into play to facilitate an understanding of the inner workings of models. Consequently, alternatives have emerged, such as [class activation mapping (CAM) techniquesClass Activation Maps (CAM) aimed at identifying regions of importance for an image classification model. However, the behavior of such models can be highly dependent on the type of architecture and the different variants of convolutional neural networks. Accordingly, this paper evaluates three Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures (VGG16, ResNet50, ConvNext-T) against seven CAM models (GradCAM, XGradCAM, HiResCAM, LayerCAM, GradCAM++, GradCAMElementWise, and EigenCAM), indicating that the CAM maps obtained with ConvNext models show less variability among them, i.e., they are less dependent on the selected CAM approach. This study was performed on an image dataset for the classification of coffee leaf rust and evaluated using the RemOve And Debias (ROAD) metric.
