WP3 — Benchmark Validation & XAI
Lead: Joint — ITU + SJU
Timeline: M10 – M22
Key milestone: M16 — First Q1 paper submitted; M22 — Second Q1 paper submitted
Objectives
- Cross-validate PI-VIB-ResNet on Oxford, NASA, and T-EV datasets
- Compare against ≥5 state-of-the-art baselines
- Apply SHAP and gradient saliency for explainability
- Publish ≥2 Q1 journal papers
