Abstract
Recent developments have resulted in multiple techniques trying to explain how deep neural networks achieve their predictions. The explainability maps provided by such techniques are useful to understand what the network has learned and increase user confidence in critical applications such as the medical field or autonomous driving. Nonetheless, they typically have very low resolutions, severely limiting their capability of identifying finer details or multiple subjects. In this paper we employ an encoder-decoder architecture with skip connection known as U-Net, originally developed for segmenting medical images, as an image classifier and we show that state of the art explainable techniques applied to U-Net can generate pixel level explanation maps for images of any resolution.Pubblicazioni consigliate
