Grad-CAM Reveals the Why Behind Deep Learning Decisions

Use the gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) technique to understand why a deep learning network makes its classification decisions. Grad-CAM, invented by Selvaraju and coauthors [1], uses the gradient of the classification score with respect to the convolutional features determined by the network in order to understand which parts of the image are most important for classification. This example uses the GoogLeNet pretrained network for images.
