Sang-Ah’s paper on The Attentional Suppressive surround to appear in Frontiers in Neuroscience

By tech | October 4, 2018 | Category Uncategorized

Abstract: The Selective Tuning model of visual attention (Tsotsos, 1990) has proposed that the focus of attention is surrounded by an inhibitory zone, eliciting a center-surround attentional distribution. This attentional suppressive surround inhibits irrelevant information which is located close to attended information in physical space (e.g., Cutzu and Tsotsos, 2003; Hopf et al., 2010) or […]

Markus Solbach’s and Amir Rosenfeld’s “Totally Looks Like – How Humans Compare, Compared to Machines” in ACCV

By tech | October 4, 2018 | Category Uncategorized

Abstract: Perceptual judgment of image similarity by humans relies on rich internal representations ranging from low-level features to high-level concepts, scene properties and even cultural associations. However, existing methods and datasets attempting to explain perceived similarity use stimuli which arguably do not cover the full breadth of factors that a ect human similarity judgments, even those […]
