Abstract
ConclusionHuman observers look more at objects that are semantically inconsistent with the scene context compared to consistent objects. Contextualized meaning maps do not show a similar sensitivity to this manipulation. In fact, on average, raw rating data–from which these maps are generated–indicate that humans rate inconsistent objects as slightly less meaningful.

I’m interested in understanding how we use eye movements to gather information about our environment. This includes building saliency models and models of eye movement prediction such as my line of DeepGaze models. I also work on the question of how to evaluate model quality and benchmarking and I’m the main organizer of the MIT/Tuebingen Saliency Benchmark.
