A new study investigates the impact of post-training quantization (PTQ) on the explainability of deep learning models, specifically focusing on five Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures. Researchers found that while quantization methods like INT8 and INT4 largely preserve classification accuracy, they can significantly alter a model's internal reasoning and explanations. The study used a dual framework combining Grad-CAM and LIME to analyze spatial attention and input-level feature attribution, revealing that architecture choice is crucial for maintaining interpretability under reduced precision.
