Explainable Image Classification

Explainable image classification combines a deep learning image classifier — typically a CNN or Vision Transformer — with a post-hoc or intrinsic interpretability method such as Grad-CAM, LIME, or SHAP to produce visual or quantitative explanations of why the model assigned a particular label to an image. The goal is to make the classifier's decision process transparent, auditable, and trustworthy.
