Modeling visual memorability assessment with autoencoders reveals characteristics of memorable images (opens in new tab)

Image memorability refers to the phenomenon where certain images are more likely to be remembered than others. It is a quantifiable and intrinsic image attribute, defined as the likelihood of an image being remembered upon a single exposure. Despite advances in understanding human visual perception and memory, it is unclear what features contribute to an image’s memorability. To address this question, we propose a deep learning-based computational modeling approach. We employ an autoencoder-b...
