Divisive Decisions: Improving Salience-Based Training for Generalization in Binary Classification Tasks

Jacob Piland, Chris Sweet, Adam Czajka

Existing saliency-guided training approaches improve model generalization by incorporating a loss term that compares the model's class activation map (CAM) for a sample's true-clas…

Improving Model's Focus Improves Performance of Deep Learning-Based Synthetic Face Detectors

Jacob Piland, Adam Czajka, Christopher Sweet

Deep learning-based models generalize better to unknown data samples after being guided "where to look" by incorporating human perception into training strategies. We made an obser…
