AnomalyJev: Towards Evaluating Image Anomaly Explanations via Claim-Level Verification

Recent multimodal LLM (MLLM)-based anomaly detection (AD) methods can generate textual explanations that help interpret their predictions.

Key points

  • However, reliably and efficiently evaluating these explanations remains challenging.
  • We instead propose to anchor evaluation in the available ground truth by extracting verifiable claims from each explanation and verifying them against the corresponding annotations.
  • We instantiate this idea as AnomalyJev, a lightweight framework that extracts verifiable claims from contextualised representations using ground-truth-defined queries and pointer based heads, without token generation.
  • For evaluation, we construct a human-annotated set of 640 explanations with over 1,600 expert ratings across in-domain and cross-dataset settings.
