In the classification step the image is converted to a feature vector representation and a classifier is applied to assign the image to a given category, e.g., “cat” or “no cat”. Note that the computation of the feature vector usually involves the usage of several intermediate representations. Our method decomposes the classification output f(x) into sums of feature and pixel relevance scores. The final relevances visualize the contributions of single pixels to the prediction.
