Application of HITS algorithm to detect terms and sentences with high saliency scores

by M. -f. Moens, Frizo Janssens, Bart De Moor , 2003
"... We adopt the HITS algorithm and assess the performance of its mutual reinforcement principle to detect terms and sentences with high saliency scores in documents. An overview is given of the goal, possible applications and the implementation. The weighting scheme that has been used, is described and ..."

Actions as space-time shapes

by Lena Gorelick, Moshe Blank, Eli Shechtman, Michal Irani, Ronen Basri - IN ICCV , 2005
"... Human action in video sequences can be seen as silhouettes of a moving torso and protruding limbs undergoing articulated motion. We regard human actions as three-dimensional shapes induced by the silhouettes in the space-time volume. We adopt a recent approach [14] for analyzing 2D shapes and genera ..."

and generalize it to deal with volumetric space-time action shapes. Our method utilizes properties of the solution to the Poisson equation to extract space-time features such as local space-time saliency, action dynamics, shape structure and orientation. We show that these features are useful for action

Achievement goals in the classroom: Students’ learning strategies and motivation processes

by Carole Ames, Jennifer Archer - Journal of Educational Psychology , 1988
"... We studied how specific motivational processes are related to the salience of mastery and performance goals in actual classroom settings. One hundred seventy-six students attending a junior high/high school for academically advanced students were randomly selected from one of their classes and respo ..."

Saliency in crowd

by Ming Jiang, Juan Xu, Qi Zhao - In ECCV , 2014
"... Abstract. Theories and models on saliency that predict where people look at focus on regular-density scenes. A crowded scene is characterized by the co-occurrence of a relatively large number of regions/objects that would have stood out if in a regular scene, and what drives attention in crowd can b ..."

the crowding information is proposed, and multiple kernel learning (MKL) is used as a core computational module to integrate various features at both low- and high-levels. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed model compared with the state-of-the-art in saliency computation.

Objects predict fixations better than early saliency

by Marburg Germanywolfgang Einhäuser - Journal of Vision
"... Humans move their eyes while looking at scenes and pictures. Eye movements correlate with shifts in attention and are thought to be a consequence of optimal resource allocation for high-level tasks such as visual recognition. Models of attention, such as “saliency maps, ” are often built on the assu ..."

On the plausibility of the discriminant centersurround hypothesis for visual saliency

by Dashan Gao, Vijay Mahadevan, Nuno Vasconcelos - Journal of Vision , 2008
"... The classical hypothesis, that bottom-up saliency is a center-surround process, is combined with a more recent hypothesis that all saliency decisions are optimal in a decision-theoretic sense. The combined hypothesis is denoted as discriminant center-surround saliency, and the corresponding optimal ..."

to a number of the latter (the prediction of human eye fixations, motion-based saliency in the presence of ego-motion, and motion-based saliency in the presence of highly dynamic backgrounds). In result, discriminant saliency is shown to predict eye fixations better than previous models, and produces

Learning to Predict Where Humans Look

by Tilke Judd, Krista Ehinger, Frédo Durand, Antonio Torralba
"... For many applications in graphics, design, and human computer interaction, it is essential to understand where humans look in a scene. Where eye tracking devices are not a viable option, models of saliency can be used to predict fixation locations. Most saliency approaches are based on bottom-up com ..."

-up computation that does not consider top-down image semantics and often does not match actual eye movements. To address this problem, we collected eye tracking data of 15 viewers on 1003 images and use this database as training and testing examples to learn a model of saliency based on low, middle and high

Hierarchical Saliency Detection

by Qiong Yan, Li Xu, Jianping Shi, Jiaya Jia
"... When dealing with objects with complex structures, saliency detection confronts a critical problem – namely that detection accuracy could be adversely affected if salient foreground or background in an image contains small-scale high-contrast patterns. This issue is common in natural images and form ..."

Evidence for terror management theory II: The effects of mortality salience on reactions to those who threaten or bolster the cultural worldview

by Jeff Greenberg, Sheldon Solomon, Mitchell Veeder, Tom Pyszczynski, Abram Rosenblatt, Shari Kirkland, Deborah Lyon - Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , 1990
"... Three experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis, derived from terror management theory, that reminding people of their mortality increases attraction to those who consensually validate their beliefs and decreases attraction to those who threaten their beliefs. In Study 1, subjects with a Chr ..."

-tive evaluations of the out-group member (the Jew). In Study 2, mortality salience led to especially negative evaluations of an attitudinally dissimilar other, but only among subjects high in authoritari-anism. In Study 3, mortality salience led to especially positive reactions to someone who directly praised

Global Contrast based Salient Region Detection

by Ming-ming Cheng, Guo-xin Zhang, Niloy J. Mitra, Xiaolei Huang, Shi-min Hu
"... Reliable estimation of visual saliency allows appropriate processing of images without prior knowledge of their contents, and thus remains an important step in many computer vision tasks including image segmentation, object recognition, and adaptive compression. We propose a regional contrast based ..."
