Energy-Regularized Spatial Masking: A Novel Approach to Enhancing Robustness and Interpretability in Vision Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2604. 06893v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep convolutional neural networks achieve remarkable performance by exhaustively processing dense spatial feature maps, yet this brute-force strategy introduces significant computational redundancy and encourages reliance on spurious background correlations.
