Evaluation of saliency map quality on the ImageNet-1k-mini dataset, measured using metrics such as area, standard deviation (std), insertion (ins), and deletion (del).

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) | ImageNet-1k-mini |
| Metric | Area |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 8 of 8 |
| 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

- [Area](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-imagenet-1k-mini.md?metric=Area>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Std Dev](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-imagenet-1k-mini.md?metric=Std%20Dev>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Insertion](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-imagenet-1k-mini.md?metric=Insertion>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Deletion](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-imagenet-1k-mini.md?metric=Deletion>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [IN Count/Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-imagenet-1k-mini.md?metric=IN%20Count%2FScore>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [OUT Count/Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/saliency-map-evaluation-on-imagenet-1k-mini.md?metric=OUT%20Count%2FScore>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
