Saliency Map, the gradient of the score function with respect to the input, is the most basic technique for interpreting deep neural network decisions. However, saliency maps are often visually noisy. Although several hypotheses were proposed to account for this phenomenon, there are few works that provide rigorous analyses of noisy saliency maps. In this paper, we firstly propose a new hypothesis that noise may occur in saliency maps when irrelevant features pass through ReLU activation functions. Then, we propose Rectified Gradient, a method that alleviates this problem through layer-wise thresholding during backpropagation. Experiments with neural networks trained on CIFAR-10 and ImageNet showed effectiveness of our method and its superiority to other attribution methods.

Object detection and classification for aircraft are the most important tasks in the satellite image analysis. The success of modern detection and classification methods has been based on machine learning and deep learning. One of the key requirements for those learning processes is huge data to train. However, there is an insufficient portion of aircraft since the targets are on military action and oper- ation. Considering the characteristics of satellite imagery, this paper attempts to provide a framework of the simulated and unsupervised methodology without any additional su- pervision or physical assumptions. Finally, the qualitative and quantitative analysis revealed a potential to replenish insufficient data for machine learning platform for satellite image analysis.
