To speed up the computation for obtaining smoothed masks, the noisy samples are created first and gradients are obtained as a single batch for all the noisy samples. Afterwards the gradients (or their squares) are summed to give the final smoothed mask.

@lenbrocki, thanks you for the pull request. The proposed GetSmoothedMask() implementation assumes that GetMask() of every saliency method can accept a batch of images. Unfortunately, it is not the case currently. Note, that SmoothGrad can be applied not only on vanilla gradients method but on other methods too.

grad = self.GetMask(x_plus_noise, call_model_function, call_model_args,
shape = (nsamples,) + x_value.shape
noisy_samples = np.zeros(shape)
for i in range(nsamples):

You could get rid of the loop completely if you used np.repeat(...) and generating the noise mask for the batched shape.
