• Abstract summary: Visual Explanations via Region (VERA) is an automatic embedding-annotation approach that generates visual explanations for any two-dimensional embedding. VERA produces informative explanations that characterize distinct regions in the embedding space, allowing users to gain an overview of the embedding landscape at a glance. We illustrate the usage of VERA on a real-world data set and validate the utility of our approach with a comparative user study.

• Abstract: Two-dimensional embeddings obtained from dimensionality reduction techniques, such as MDS, t-SNE, and UMAP, are widely used across various disciplines to visualize high-dimensional data. These visualizations provide a valuable tool for exploratory data analysis, allowing researchers to visually identify clusters, outliers, and other interesting patterns in the data. However, interpreting the resulting visualizations can be challenging, as it often requires additional manual inspection to understand the differences between data points in different regions of the embedding space. To address this issue, we propose Visual Explanations via Region Annotation (VERA), an automatic embedding-annotation approach that generates visual explanations for any two-dimensional embedding. VERA produces informative explanations that characterize distinct regions in the embedding space, allowing users to gain an overview of the embedding landscape at a glance. Unlike most existing approaches, which typically require some degree of manual user intervention, VERA produces static explanations, automatically identifying and selecting the most informative visual explanations to show to the user. We illustrate the usage of VERA on a real-world data set and validate the utility of our approach with a comparative user study. Our results demonstrate that the explanations generated by VERA are as useful as fully-fledged interactive tools on typical exploratory data analysis tasks but require significantly less time and effort from the user.

  Web-scale visual entity recognition presents significant challenges due to the lack of clean, large-scale training data. We propose a novel methodology to curate such a dataset, leveraging a multimodal large language model (LLM) for label verification, metadata generation, and rationale explanation. Experiments demonstrate that models trained on this automatically curated data achieve state-of-the-art performance on web-scale visual entity recognition tasks.

  The aim of this work is to establish how accurately a recent semantic-based active perception model is able to complete visual tasks that are regularly performed by humans. This model exploits the ability of current object detectors to localize and classify a large number of object classes and to update a semantic description of a scene across multiple fixations. In the task of scene exploration, the semantic-based method demonstrates superior performance compared to the traditional saliency-based model.

We evaluate the existing end-to-end methods for VIE on the proposed dataset and observe that the performance of these methods has a distinguishable drop from SROIE to our proposed dataset due to the larger variance of layout and entities.
