• Abstract summary: We propose a new dataset for measuring AI-human visual alignment in terms of image classification. Our dataset consists of three groups of samples, namely Must-Act (i.e., Must-Classify), Must-Abstain, and Uncertain. We analyze the visual alignment and reliability of five popular visual perception models and seven abstention methods.

• Abstract: AI alignment refers to models acting towards human-intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles. Given that most large-scale deep learning models act as black boxes and cannot be manually controlled, analyzing the similarity between models and humans can be a proxy measure for ensuring AI safety. In this paper, we focus on the models' visual perception alignment with humans, further referred to as AI-human visual alignment. Specifically, we propose a new dataset for measuring AI-human visual alignment in terms of image classification, a fundamental task in machine perception. In order to evaluate AI-human visual alignment, a dataset should encompass samples with various scenarios that may arise in the real world and have gold human perception labels. Our dataset consists of three groups of samples, namely Must-Act (i.e., Must-Classify), Must-Abstain, and Uncertain, based on the quantity and clarity of visual information in an image and further divided into eight categories. All samples have a gold human perception label; even Uncertain (severely blurry) sample labels were obtained via crowd-sourcing. The validity of our dataset is verified by sampling theory, statistical theories related to survey design, and experts in the related fields. Using our dataset, we analyze the visual alignment and reliability of five popular visual perception models and seven abstention methods.

• When Does Perceptual Alignment Benefit Vision Representations? [76.32336818860965]
  We investigate how aligning vision model representations to human perceptual judgments impacts their usability. We find that aligning models to perceptual judgments yields representations that improve upon the original backbones across many downstream tasks. Our results suggest that injecting an inductive bias about human perceptual knowledge into vision models can contribute to better representations.

  This work investigates how people use text-to-image models to generate desired target images. We created ArtWhisperer, an online game where users are given a target image and are tasked with iteratively finding a prompt that creates a similar-looking image as the target. We recorded over 50,000 human-AI interactions; each interaction corresponds to one text prompt created by a user and the corresponding generated image.

  We show that inputs that are mapped to similar representations by the model should be perceived similarly by humans. Our approach yields a measure of the extent to which a model is aligned with human perception. We find that various properties of a model like its architecture, training paradigm, training loss, and data augmentation play a significant role in learning representations that are aligned with human perception.

We propose visual distant supervision, a novel paradigm of visual relation learning, which can train scene graph models without any human-labeled data. Comprehensive experimental results show that our distantly supervised model outperforms strong weakly supervised and semi-supervised baselines.
