Extensive experiments show that the proposed IB-inspired spatial attention mechanism can yield attention maps that neatly highlight the regions of interest while suppressing backgrounds, and bootstrap standard DNN structures for visual recognition tasks (e. g., image classification, fine-grained recognition, cross-domain classification).

With three example computer vision tasks, diverse representative backbones, and famous architectures, corresponding real human gaze data, and systematically conducted large-scale quantitative studies, we quantify the consistency between artificial attention and human visual attention and offer novel insights into existing artificial attention mechanisms by giving preliminary answers to several key questions related to human and artificial attention mechanisms.
