Explainable Vision Transformer/Evidence
Method evidence record

Explainable Vision Transformer

Explainable Vision Transformer combines the strong image-recognition performance of Vision Transformers (ViT) with attribution techniques — such as relevance propagation, attention rollout, or gradient-weighted attention — that highlight which image regions drive each prediction. The approach enables researchers and practitioners to audit model decisions and satisfy transparency requirements without sacrificing accuracy.
