Firstly, we evaluate the effectiveness of CNN-based architectures with and without AMs. Secondly, we attempt to interpret the results produced by the CNNs using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods. We compare CNNs with and without (vanilla) AMs for buildings detection. Five metrics are calculated, namely F1-score, precision, recall, intersection over union (IoU) and overall accuracy (OA). For the XAI portion of this work, the methods of Layer Gradient X activation and Layer DeepLIFT are used to explore the internal AMs and their overall effects on the network. Qualitative evaluation is based on color-coded value attribution to assess how the AMs facilitate the CNNs in performing buildings classification. We look at the effects of employing five AM algorithms, namely (i) squeeze and excitation (SE), (ii) convolution attention block module (CBAM), (iii) triplet attention, (iv) shuffle attention (SA), and (v) efficient channel attention (ECA). Experimental results indicate that AMs generally and markedly improve the quantitative metrics, with the attribution visualization results of XAI methods agreeing with the quantitative metrics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14246254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,12]],"date-time":"2022-12-12T04:34:20Z","timestamp":1670819660000},"page":"6254","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Unboxing the Black Box of Attention Mechanisms in Remote Sensing Big Data Using XAI"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Erfan","family":"Hasanpour Zaryabi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran 14648-54763, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0478-7261","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Loghman","family":"Moradi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran 14648-54763, Iran"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2822-3463","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bahareh","family":"Kalantar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project, Goal-Oriented Technology Research Group, Disaster Resilience Science Team, Tokyo 103-0027, Japan"}]},{"given":"Naonori","family":"Ueda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project, Goal-Oriented Technology Research Group, Disaster Resilience Science Team, Tokyo 103-0027, Japan"}]},{"given":"Alfian Abdul","family":"Halin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Multimedia, Faculty of Computer Science & Information Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang 43400, Malaysia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3735","DOI":"10.1109\/JSTARS.2020.3005403","article-title":"Remote Sensing Image Scene Classification Meets Deep Learning: Challenges, Methods, Benchmarks, and Opportunities","volume":"13","author":"Cheng","year":"2020","journal-title":"IEEE J.
