Evaluation of model attribution methods for Fine-grained Image Classification performance on the CUB-200-2011 validation set, reporting metrics related to explanation fidelity and robustness (e.g., AUC, Fidelity).

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 | Fine-grained Image Classification Attribution |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | CUB-200 2011 (val) |
| Metric | Deletion AUC |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 10 of 10 |
| 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

- [Deletion AUC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/fine-grained-image-classification-attribution-on-cub-200-2011-val.md?metric=Deletion%20AUC>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Insertion AUC](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/fine-grained-image-classification-attribution-on-cub-200-2011-val.md?metric=Insertion%20AUC>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Mean Fidelity](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/fine-grained-image-classification-attribution-on-cub-200-2011-val.md?metric=Mean%20Fidelity>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
