Robustness evaluation of explainable AI methods under natural image corruptions

Aug 2026 · Applied intelligence (Boston) · Vol 56 · 0 citations · 53 references

TL;DR

This study presents the first comprehensive evaluation framework systematically assessing XAI robustness under natural image corruptions encountered in production environments and establishes the first evidence-based XAI robustness ranking under natural corruptions, providing actionable guidance for practitioners selecting methods in real-world applications where input quality cannot be guaranteed.

Explainable AI for Deep Visual Recognition: Evaluation, Methods, and Open Challenges

This review explores the key techniques for explainability in deep visual recognition, including model-agnostic methods such as LIME and SHAP, model-specific approaches like saliency maps and feature visualization, and intrinsically interpretable models like decision trees and rule-based systems.

Suppress and Diversify: Refining Robust Pathways for Corruption Robustness

This work identifies a progressive decay of robust features across network layers and establishes a functional dependency between the prevalence of these features and model performance, and proposes Suppress and Diversify (S\&D), a non-intrusive refinement approach that enhances robustness by dynamically selecting robu...

BRUCE: Benchmarking Robustness Under Corruption Escalation for Scientific Vision-Language Reasoning

This paper proposes BRUCE (Benchmarking Robustness Under Corruption Escalation), a multimodal reasoning fragility framework for scientific vision-language reasoning that evaluates VLMs'robustness by applying perturbations and distortions to the input images, such as blur or low contrast.

A Multi-Dimensional Evaluation of Explainability in Media Bias Detection

It is suggested that predictive performance, attribution plausibility, and mechanistic faithfulness characterize different aspects of model behavior and should be evaluated separately when studying explainability in media bias detection.
