ExploreNet ablation: perturbing learned high-sensitivity channels drives larger human-perceived change

StellaLisy · x · 2026-10-08

Researcher StellaLisy digs into what ExploreNet learned to amplify. Annotators viewed images perturbed in a single latent channel and rated visual change versus the reference; perturbing the channels ExploreNet learned to amplify produced noticeably larger perceived changes, showing its exploration aligns with image-changing directions.
