Evaluation of counterfactual explanation methods applied to the specific Cheetah and Cougar classes within the ImageNet dataset, utilizing metrics focused on image quality and explanation fidelity (FID, sFID, COUT).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Counterfactual Explanation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ImageNet (Cheetah - Cougar) |
| Metric | FID |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [FID](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-on-imagenet-cheetah-cougar.md?metric=FID>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [sFID](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-on-imagenet-cheetah-cougar.md?metric=sFID>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [S3 Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-on-imagenet-cheetah-cougar.md?metric=S3%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [COUT](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-on-imagenet-cheetah-cougar.md?metric=COUT>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [FR (%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/counterfactual-explanation-on-imagenet-cheetah-cougar.md?metric=FR%20(%25)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
