Air Raid

The exact ground truth for this ROM and how every interpretability method scores against it — one of the 42 scored games. Every number is read from site_data.json (games.air_raid).

Ground truth

External label source
OCAtari
Verified causal labels
9
Labels that move a sprite
8
Scorable (enough true causes)
yes
Position regime
yes — a moving tracked sprite at this frame

The screenshot is the exact analysis frame the ground truth is computed on. Labels are imported (AtariARI / OCAtari) then verified causally on the bit-exact machine.

Every method's faithfulness on Air Raid

Each XAI / mechanistic-interpretability method's faithfulness on this ROM, sorted by F (click a header to re-sort). The left border marks the tradition: green = causal / intervention, red = gradient / correlational, amber = other — the split the paper's headline turns on. F is all-regime; content-F and position-F are the two output regimes (n/a where this game has no record for that regime).
