Grad-CAM: Why did you say that?

We propose a technique for making Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based models more transparent by visualizing input regions that are ‘important’ for predictions – producing visual explanations. Our approach, called Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM), uses class-specific gradient information to localize important regions. These localizations are combined with existing pixe...
