Evaluation of saliency map quality on the Fashion-MNIST (FMNIST) dataset, reporting Gini index and Rank Order Sensitivity (ROS) scores.

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 | Saliency Map Evaluation |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | FMNIST |
| Metric | Gini Index |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 6 of 6 |
| 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

- [Gini Index](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-fmnist.md?metric=Gini%20Index>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [ROS](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-fmnist.md?metric=ROS>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
