We have found previously that there are deficiencies with the classifier-confidence-based saliency map generator when there perturbed image confidences that are imbalanced on the on the positive/negative scale when differenced from reference prediction results. This branch includes experiments into a "heuristic" (so named because I have not investigated a proof of generality) that aims add a "normalization" to counteract this bias.
Currently this is just experiments shown in-line in the image classification confidence saliency generation notebook. The PR is more for recordkeeping that an actual merge candidate.
The "winner" looks like heuristic # 3. This weights classification confidence difference vector based on the geometric mean of the >0 and <0 "classes". The intuition here is when there are mask regions that contribute to rare changes in prediction results, they must be relatively more important to that prediction.
