Recent advances in image-based saliency prediction are approaching gold standard performance levels on existing benchmarks. Despite this success, we show that predicting fixations across multiple saliency datasets remains challenging due to dataset bias. We find a significant performance drop (aroun…
Since 2014 transfer learning has become the key driver for the improvement of spatial saliency prediction - however, with stagnant progress in the last 3-5 years. We conduct a large-scale transfer learning study which tests different ImageNet backbones, always using the same read out architecture an…
Where people look when watching videos is believed to be heavily influenced by temporal patterns. In this work, we test this assumption by quantifying to which extent gaze on recent video saliency benchmarks can be predicted by a static baseline model. On the recent LEDOV dataset, we find that at le…
Throughout the past five years, the susceptibility of neural networks to minimal adversarial perturbations has moved from a peculiar phenomenon to a core issue in Deep Learning. Despite much attention, however, progress towards more robust models is significantly impaired by the difficulty of evalua…
