The `xaitk-saliency` package is an open source Explainable AI (XAI) framework for visual saliency algorithm interfaces and implementations, designed for analytics and autonomy applications. It provides saliency algorithms for various image understanding tasks such as image classification, image similarity, object detection, and reinforcement learning. The toolkit targets data scientists and developers who aim to incorporate visual saliency explanations into their workflow or product, offering both direct accessibility for experimentation and modular integration into systems and applications through Strategy and Adapter patterns. The package includes documentation, examples, and a demonstration tool for visual saliency generation in a user-interface.

XAITK - Saliency

The xaitk-saliency package is an open source, Explainable AI (XAI) framework for visual saliency algorithm interfaces and implementations, built for analytics and autonomy applications.

See here for a more formal introduction to the topic of XAI and visual saliency explanations.

This framework is a part of the Explainable AI Toolkit (XAITK).

Supported Algorithms

The xaitk-saliency package provides saliency algorithms for a wide range of image understanding tasks, including image classification, image similarity, object detection, and reinforcement learning. The current list of supported saliency algorithms can be found here.

Target Audience

This toolkit is intended to help data scientists and developers who want to add visual saliency explanations to their workflow or product. Functionality provided here is both directly accessible for targeted experimentation, and through Strategy and Adapter patterns to allow for modular integration into systems and applications.

Installation

Install the latest release via pip:

pip install xaitk-saliency

Some plugins may require additional dependencies in order to be utilized at runtime. Such details are described here.

See here for more installation documentation.

Getting Started

We provide a number of examples based on Jupyter notebooks in the ./examples/ directory to show usage of the xaitk-saliency package in a number of different contexts.

Contributions are welcome! See the CONTRIBUTING.md file for details.

Documentation

Documentation snapshots for releases as well as the latest master are hosted on ReadTheDocs.

The sphinx-based documentation may also be built locally for the most up-to-date reference:

# Install dependencies
poetry install
# Navigate to the documentation root.
cd docs
# Build the docs.
poetry run make html
# Open in your favorite browser!
firefox _build/html/index.html

XAITK Saliency Demonstration Tool

This associated project provides a local web-application that provides a demonstration of visual saliency generation in a user-interface. This provides an example of how visual saliency, as generated by this package, can be utilized in a user-interface to facilitate model and results exploration. This tool uses the trame framework.
