An Unsupervised Game-Theoretic Approach to Saliency Detection

Yu Zeng, Huchuan Lu, Ali Borji +1

We propose a novel unsupervised game-theoretic salient object detection algorithm that does not require labeled training data. First, saliency detection problem is formulated as a…

Statistics of Deep Generated Images

Yu Zeng, Huchuan Lu, Ali Borji

Here, we explore the low-level statistics of images generated by state-of-the-art deep generative models. First, Variational auto-encoder (VAE~\cite{kingma2013auto}), Wasserstein g…

Negative Results in Computer Vision: A Perspective

Ali Borji

A negative result is when the outcome of an experiment or a model is not what is expected or when a hypothesis does not hold. Despite being often overlooked in the scientific commu…

Paying Attention to Descriptions Generated by Image Captioning Models

Hamed R. Tavakoli, Rakshith Shetty, Ali Borji +1

To bridge the gap between humans and machines in image understanding and describing, we need further insight into how people describe a perceived scene. In this paper, we study the…
