saliency
- noun
- /ˈseɪliənsi/
- Specialized
- The researchers created a saliency map to highlight which areas of the image affected the model's predictions the most.
Examples
-
Using saliency visualization, the team could clearly see which features influenced the model's output the most.
-
In computer vision, saliency helps identify parts of an image that are most important for interpretation by a neural network.
-
The influence of saliency on the amount of fused responses can be related to the transmitted information scores.
Academic text (2012) -
Eventually, it was decided that components would be interpreted using a minimum factor saliency criterion of 0.50.
Academic text (2005) -
This finding may reflect how the two graph styles affect the saliency of relevant data (Jarvenpaa 1990; Meyer et al. 1999).
Academic text (2005) -
Thus, our unexpected finding of a difference in choices between the two graph display styles may be due to differences in visual saliency, differences in computational equivalence, or both.

Etymology
Saliency keeps the same idea from Latin salire ('to jump'): in machine learning a saliency map is like a colour picture that shows which parts of an image 'jump out' to the model. So, saliency here means the numbers or map that show which parts most influence the model's decision.
