About this ebook
The new edition of this popular book introduces the study of attention, focusing on attention modeling, and addressing such themes as saliency models, signal detection, and different types of signals, including real-life applications. The first edition was written at a moment when the Deep Learning Neural Network (DNNs) techniques were just at their beginnings in terms of attention. Deep learning has recently become a key factor in attention prediction on images and video, and attention mechanisms have become key factors in deep learning models. The second edition tackles the arrival of DNNs for attention computing in images and video, and also discusses the attention mechanisms within DNNs (attention modules, transformers, grad-cam-based saliency maps, etc.). From Human Attention to Computational Attention 2nd Edition also explores the parallels between the brain structures and the DNN architectures to reveal how biomimetics can improve the model designs. The book is truly multi-disciplinary, collating work from psychology, neuroscience, engineering, and computer science.
