New ViASNet model predicts viewer engagement in video ads

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ViASNet, a novel deep saliency prediction model designed for short-form video advertising. This model, based on the 3D U-Net architecture, incorporates audio cues and semantic scene meaning to predict where viewers will look and for how long. ViASNet was tested on 151 video ads, with eye-tracking data from approximately 20 viewers per ad, and demonstrated the ability to identify unengaging content through saliency map entropy analysis. The study suggests that ViASNet can significantly accelerate ad design and testing processes. AI

IMPACT This model could streamline video ad creation and testing by automating viewer engagement analysis.
