Architecture-Aware Explanation Auditing for Industrial Visual Inspection 文章

arXiv:2605.14255v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Industrial visual inspection systems increasingly rely on deep classifiers whose heatmap explanations may appear visually plausible while failing to identify the image regions that actually drive model decisions. This paper operationalizes an architecture-aware explanation audit protocol grounded in the native-readout hypothesis: the perturbation-based faithfulness of an explanation method is bounded by its structural distance from the model's native decision mechanism. On WM-811K wafer maps (9 classes, 172k images) under a three-seed zero-fill perturbation protocol, ViT-Tiny + Attention Rollout attains Deletion AUC 0.211 against 0.432-0.525 for Swin-Tiny / ResNet18+CBAM / DenseNet121 + Grad-CAM (abs(Cohen's d) > 1.1), despite lower classification accuracy.
