People can view the same image differently: they focus on different regions, objects, and details in varying orders and describe them in distinct linguistic styles. This leads to substantial variability in image descriptions. However, existing models for personalized image description focus on lingu
"For computer systems to effectively interact with humans using spoken language, they need to understand how the words being generated affect the users’ moment-by-moment attention. Our study focuses on the incremental prediction of attention as a person is seeing an image and hearing a referring exp…
Most models of visual attention aim at predicting either top-down or bottom-up control as studied using different visual search and free-viewing tasks. In this paper we propose the Human Attention Transformer (HAT) a single model that predicts both forms of attention control. HAT uses a novel transf…
Predicting human gaze is important in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, to practically serve HCI applications, gaze prediction models must be scalable, fast, and accurate in their spatial and temporal gaze predictions. Recent scanpath prediction models focus on goal-directed attention (sear…
"The prediction of human gaze behavior is important for building human-computer interactive systems that can anticipate a user’s attention. Computer vision models have been developed to predict the fixations made by people as they search for target objects. But what about when the image has no targe…
Human gaze behavior prediction is important for behavioral vision and for computer vision applications. Most models mainly focus on predicting free-viewing behavior using saliency maps, but do not generalize to goal-directed behavior, such as when a person searches for a visual target object. We pro…
Video segmentation is the task of grouping similar pixels in the spatio-temporal domain, and has become an important preprocessing step for subsequent video analysis. Most video segmentation and supervoxel methods output a hierarchy of segmentations, but while this provides useful multiscale informa…
