Evaluation of Explainable AI (XAI) attribution methods on the validation split of the ImageNet-S dataset, measured using localization, point fidelity, pixel flow (AUC), and sensitivity metrics.

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 | XAI Attribution |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ImageNet-S (val) |
| Metric | Attribution Localization |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 19 of 19 |
| 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

- [Attribution Localization](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/xai-attribution-on-imagenet-s-val.md?metric=Attribution%20Localization>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Point Fidelity](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/xai-attribution-on-imagenet-s-val.md?metric=Point%20Fidelity>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Pixel Flow AUC@5](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/xai-attribution-on-imagenet-s-val.md?metric=Pixel%20Flow%20AUC%405>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Pixel Flow AUC@20](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/xai-attribution-on-imagenet-s-val.md?metric=Pixel%20Flow%20AUC%4020>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Max Sensitivity](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/xai-attribution-on-imagenet-s-val.md?metric=Max%20Sensitivity>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
