Evaluation of the faithfulness of model explanations (e.g., using Insertion/Deletion metrics) on the validation subset (2000 images) of the ILSVRC 2012 dataset.

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 | Explanation Faithfulness |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ILSVRC 2012 (val (2000 images)) |
| Metric | Insertion Score |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 3 of 3 |
| 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

- [Insertion Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/explanation-faithfulness-on-ilsvrc-2012-val-2000-images.md?metric=Insertion%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Deletion Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/explanation-faithfulness-on-ilsvrc-2012-val-2000-images.md?metric=Deletion%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
