Researchers explore image memorability correlates in vision encoders

Researchers have investigated factors within vision encoders that correlate with human image memorability. They analyzed activations, attention entropy, and patch uniformity, finding these features offer some predictive power. A novel approach using sparse autoencoder loss on vision encoder representations outperformed previous methods, suggesting reconstruction loss is a strong indicator of an image's memorability. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into how vision models process and retain information, potentially guiding future model development for enhanced memory or recognition.

    Correlates of Image Memorability in Vision Encoders: Activations, Attention Entropy, Patch Uniformity and Autoencoder Losses

    arXiv:2509.01453v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Images vary in how memorable they are to humans. Inspired by findings from cognitive science and computer vision, we explore correlates of image memorability in pretrained transformer-based vision encoders for the first time. Fo…
