Researchers have introduced AVAtt, a new dataset and benchmark designed to study visual attention specifically on paintings. Unlike existing datasets that focus on natural photographs, AVAtt includes eye-tracking data from participants viewing a diverse collection of paintings spanning centuries and art movements. The dataset comprises scanpaths, fixations, saliency maps, and detailed art metadata, enabling the development and evaluation of art-aware attention models. Initial benchmarks reveal significant opportunities for improvement over current models, with findings indicating that factors like faces, local structure, and art style influence where viewers look.
