| Popis: | Interpreting the decisions of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) is essential for understanding their behavior, yet explainability remains a significant challenge, particularly for self-supervised models. Most existing methods for generating saliency maps rely on ground truth labels, restricting their use to supervised tasks. EigenCAM is the only notable label-independent alternative, leveraging Singular Value Decomposition to generate saliency maps applicable across CNN models, but it does not fully exploit the tensorial structure of feature maps. In this work, we introduce the Tucker Saliency Map (TSM) method, which applies Tucker tensor decomposition to better capture the inherent structure of feature maps, producing more accurate singular vectors and values. These are used to generate high-fidelity saliency maps, effectively highlighting objects of interest in the input. We further extend EigenCAM and TSM into multivector variants -Multivec-EigenCAM and Multivector Tucker Saliency Maps (MTSM)- which utilize all singular vectors and values, further improving saliency map quality. Quantitative evaluations on supervised classification models demonstrate that TSM, Multivec-EigenCAM, and MTSM achieve competitive performance with label-dependent methods. Moreover, TSM enhances explainability by approximately 50% over EigenCAM for both supervised and self-supervised models. Multivec-EigenCAM and MTSM further advance state-of-the-art explainability performance on self-supervised models, with MTSM achieving the best results. Comment: 29 pages, 20 figures |
