Title: Creating Intelligence: A NeuroTechTO Debate Date: June 23rd, 2016 Panel: Francis Jeanson, Nick Frosst, Calden Wloka, and Luca Pisterzi Calden Wloka, along with lab alumnus Nick Frosst (now at Google Canada), Francis Jeanson (Ontario Brain Institute), and Luca Pisterzi (Canadian Partnership Against Cancer), took part in a panel discussion on the role of AI […]
Read MoreAuthors: Calden Wloka, Sang-Ah Yoo, Rakesh Sengupta, Toni Kunic, and John K. Tsotsos Title: Psychophysical Evaluation of Saliency Algorithms Abstract: A great deal of effort has been spent evaluating the performance of saliency algorithms at predicting human fixations in natural images. However, many other aspects of human visual attention have received relatively little focus in […]

Read MorePaper information: Authors: Calden Wloka and John Tsotsos Title: Spatially Binned ROC: A Comprehensive Saliency Metric Abstract: A recent trend in saliency algorithm development is large-scale benchmarking and algorithm ranking with ground truth provided by datasets of human fixations. In order to accommodate the strong bias humans have toward central fixations, it is common to […]
