An empirical study on the development of metaphorical comprehension of Chinese children

Frontiers in Psychology
Metaphor affects how people focus, remember, and process information and significantly influences children’s language development. The study explored metaphorical comprehension by Chinese children of different ages (5–8 years).

Salient Objects in Clutter: Bringing Salient Object Detection to the Foreground

, 2018
We provide a comprehensive evaluation of salient object detection (SOD) models. Our analysis identifies a serious design bias of existing SOD datasets which assumes that each image contains at least one clearly outstanding salient object in low clutter ...

Enhancing Deep Edge Detection through Normalized Hadamard-Product Fusion

Journal of Imaging
Deep edge detection is challenging, especially with the existing methods, like HED (holistic edge detection). These methods combine multiple feature side outputs (SOs) to create the final edge map, but they neglect diverse edge importance within one ...

Evidence for arousal-biased competition in perceptual learning

Frontiers in Psychology, 2012
Arousal-biased competition theory predicts that arousal biases competition in favor of perceptually salient stimuli and against non-salient stimuli (Mather & Sutherland, 2011).

S4Net: Single Stage Salient-Instance Segmentation

, 2019
We consider an interesting problem-salient instance segmentation in this paper. Other than producing bounding boxes, our network also outputs high-quality instance-level segments.

Can sector specific REIT strategies outperform a diversified benchmark? [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: We investigate the performance of different portfolios of REITs which specialise by property type compared to the performance of a diversified free-float market capitalisation weighted benchmark index to determine whether superior risk-adjusted ...

On the Distribution of Salient Objects in Web Images and Its Influence on Salient Object Detection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In recent years it has become apparent that a Gaussian center bias can serve as an important prior for visual saliency detection, which has been demonstrated for predicting human eye fixations and salient object detection. Tseng et al.

The Attentional Capture Debate: When Can We Avoid Salient Distractors and When Not?

Journal of Cognition, 2023
There has been a long-standing debate concerning whether we are able to resist attention capture by salient distractors. The so-called “signal suppression hypothesis” of Gaspelin and Luck (2018) claimed to have resolved this debate.

Towards the Success Rate of One: Real-time Unconstrained Salient Object Detection

, 2017
In this work, we propose an efficient and effective approach for unconstrained salient object detection in images using deep convolutional neural networks.
