• Abstract summary: This paper contributes to the theme by extending visual search theories to an information visualization context. We consider a visual search task where subjects are asked to find an unknown outlier in a grid of randomly laid out distractor. The results show that the major difficulty factor is the number of visual attributes that are used to encode the outlier.

• Abstract: The design of efficient representations is well established as a fruitful way to explore and analyze complex or large data. In these representations, data are encoded with various visual attributes depending on the needs of the representation itself. To make coherent design choices about visual attributes, the visual search field proposes guidelines based on the human brain perception of features. However, information visualization representations frequently need to depict more data than the amount these guidelines have been validated on. Since, the information visualization community has extended these guidelines to a wider parameter space. This paper contributes to this theme by extending visual search theories to an information visualization context. We consider a visual search task where subjects are asked to find an unknown outlier in a grid of randomly laid out distractor. Stimuli are defined by color and shape features for the purpose of visually encoding categorical data. The experimental protocol is made of a parameters space reduction step (i.e., sub-sampling) based on a machine learning model, and a user evaluation to measure capacity limits and validate hypotheses. The results show that the major difficulty factor is the number of visual attributes that are used to encode the outlier. When redundantly encoded, the display heterogeneity has no effect on the task. When encoded with one attribute, the difficulty depends on that attribute heterogeneity until its capacity limit (7 for color, 5 for shape) is reached. Finally, when encoded with two attributes simultaneously, performances drop drastically even with minor heterogeneity.

  We propose attribute-aware hashing networks with self-consistency for generating attribute-aware hash codes. We develop an encoder-decoder structure network of a reconstruction task to unsupervisedly distill high-level attribute-specific vectors. Our models are equipped with a feature decorrelation constraint upon these attribute vectors to strengthen their representative abilities.

  Class Activation Maps (CAMs) visualizes the importance of each feature of a data sample contributing to the classification. We aggregate CAMs from multiple samples to show a global explanation of the classification for semantically structured data. Our approach allows an analyst to detect important features of high-dimensional data and derive adjustments to the AI model based on our global explanation visualization.

  We introduce a protocol to evaluate visual representations for the task of Visual Question Answering. In order to decouple visual feature extraction from reasoning, we design a specific attention-based reasoning module. We compare two types of visual representations, densely extracted local features and object-centric ones, against the performances of a perfect image representation using ground truth.

  We investigate the problem of measuring interpretability of self-supervised representations. We formulate the latter as estimating the mutual information between the representation and a space of manually labelled concepts. We use our method to evaluate a large number of self-supervised representations, ranking them by interpretability.

  We show that standard classifiers fail because the association between images and labels is not transportable across settings. We then show that the causal effect, which severs all sources of confounding, remains invariant across domains. This motivates us to develop an algorithm to estimate the causal effect for image classification.
