WP3 — Benchmark Validation & XAI

Lead: Joint — Korea + Türkiye
Timeline: M10 – M22
Key milestone: M16 — First Q1 paper submitted; M22 — Second Q1 paper submitted

Objectives

1. Cross-validate PI-VIB-ResNet on Oxford, NASA, and T-EV datasets
2. Compare against ≥5 state-of-the-art baselines
3. Apply SHAP and gradient saliency for explainability
4. Publish ≥2 Q1 journal papers
