Saliency Attacks Are Two Attacks, and the Second One Forges Evidence
Saliency attacks name two unrelated attacks. In one, the attacker uses saliency to find a cheap perturbation. In the other, the explanation is the target, the prediction stays correct, and the forgery defeats the detectors built to catch it.
