Active object recognition, fundamental to tasks like reading and driving, relies on the ability make time-sensitive decisions. People exhibit a flexible tradeoff between speed accuracy, crucial human skill. However, current computational models struggle incorporate time. To address this gap, we present first dataset (with 148 observers) exploring speed–accuracy (SAT) in ImageNet recognition. Participants performed 16-way categorization task where their responses counted only if they occurred...

Abstract Collections of objects such as images are often presented visually in a grid because it is compact representation that lends itself well for search and exploration. Most layouts sorted using very basic criteria, date or filename. In this work we present method to arrange collections respecting an arbitrary distance measure. Pairwise distances preserved much possible, while still producing the specific target arrangement which may be 2D grid, surface sphere, hierarchy, any other...

Existing approaches to unsupervised object discovery (UOD) do not scale up large datasets without approximations that compromise their performance. We propose a novel formulation of UOD as ranking problem, amenable the arsenal distributed methods available for eigenvalue problems and link analysis. Through use self-supervised features, we also demonstrate first effective fully pipeline UOD. Extensive experiments on COCO OpenImages show that, in single-object setting where single prominent is...
