Modeling Human Visual Search Performance on Realistic Webpages Using Analytical and Deep Learning Methods
Modeling visual search not only offers an opportunity to predict the
usability of an interface before actually testing it on real users, but also
advances scientific understanding about human behavior. In this work, we first
conduct a set of analyses on a large-scale dataset of visual search tasks on
realistic webpages. We then present a deep neural network that learns to
predict the scannability of webpage content, i.e., how easy it is for a user to
find a specific target. Our model leverages both heuristic-based features such
as target size and unstructured features such as raw image pixels. This
approach allows us to model complex interactions that might be involved in a
realistic visual search task, which can not be easily achieved by traditional
analytical models. We analyze the model behavior to offer our insights into how
the salience map learned by the model aligns with human intuition and how the
learned semantic representation of each target type relates to its visual
search performance.Comment: the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing System
Pedestrian Attribute Recognition: A Survey
Recognizing pedestrian attributes is an important task in computer vision
community due to it plays an important role in video surveillance. Many
algorithms has been proposed to handle this task. The goal of this paper is to
review existing works using traditional methods or based on deep learning
networks. Firstly, we introduce the background of pedestrian attributes
recognition (PAR, for short), including the fundamental concepts of pedestrian
attributes and corresponding challenges. Secondly, we introduce existing
benchmarks, including popular datasets and evaluation criterion. Thirdly, we
analyse the concept of multi-task learning and multi-label learning, and also
explain the relations between these two learning algorithms and pedestrian
attribute recognition. We also review some popular network architectures which
have widely applied in the deep learning community. Fourthly, we analyse
popular solutions for this task, such as attributes group, part-based,
\emph{etc}. Fifthly, we shown some applications which takes pedestrian
attributes into consideration and achieve better performance. Finally, we
summarized this paper and give several possible research directions for
pedestrian attributes recognition. The project page of this paper can be found

AMC: Attention guided Multi-modal Correlation Learning for Image Search
Given a user's query, traditional image search systems rank images according
to its relevance to a single modality (e.g., image content or surrounding
text). Nowadays, an increasing number of images on the Internet are available
with associated meta data in rich modalities (e.g., titles, keywords, tags,
etc.), which can be exploited for better similarity measure with queries. In
this paper, we leverage visual and textual modalities for image search by
learning their correlation with input query. According to the intent of query,
attention mechanism can be introduced to adaptively balance the importance of
different modalities. We propose a novel Attention guided Multi-modal
Correlation (AMC) learning method which consists of a jointly learned hierarchy
of intra and inter-attention networks. Conditioned on query's intent,
intra-attention networks (i.e., visual intra-attention network and language
intra-attention network) attend on informative parts within each modality; a
multi-modal inter-attention network promotes the importance of the most
query-relevant modalities. In experiments, we evaluate AMC models on the search
logs from two real world image search engines and show a significant boost on
the ranking of user-clicked images in search results. Additionally, we extend
AMC models to caption ranking task on COCO dataset and achieve competitive
results compared with recent state-of-the-arts.Comment: CVPR 201
