Researchers have developed SEAMS, a novel saliency method designed to identify image regions crucial for preserving a model's behavior. This approach optimizes a soft mask using a preservation objective, directly searching for compact masks that maintain specific model outputs like class probabilities or embeddings. SEAMS operates without needing auxiliary datasets or architecture-specific mechanisms, demonstrating its flexibility across different models such as ViT-S/16 and ConvNeXt. The method produces stable, interpretable, and competitive saliency maps, highlighting that visual explanations can be architecture-dependent. AI
