    Prediction of relevance of an image from a scan pattern

    No full text
    This report considers the task of inferring implicit relevance feedback from eye movements in image retrieval settings. The feasibility of solving the problem without using any image-level features is demonstrated on two different search settings, and the accuracy of inferring the relevance feedback is shown to be relatively high, clearly better than random. In addition, the report provides a list of image-level features that are good cues for relevance

    Predicting relevance of parts of an image

    No full text
    This report studies the task of inferring which parts of an image are relevant for the user viewing the image. The relevance is inferred from gaze trajectory of users viewing the images given a specific task. Novel computational models based on both Bayesian generative modeling and kernel methods are developed for inferring the regions of interest from raw fixation data, as well as from combination of eye movements and image content features

    Ranking algorithms for implicit feedback

    No full text
    This report presents novel algorithms to use eye movements as an implicit relevance feedback in order to improve the performance of the searches. The algorithms are evaluated on "Transport Rank Five" Dataset which were previously collected in Task 8.3. We demonstrated that simple linear combination or tensor product of eye movement and image features can improve the retrieval accuracy

    Learning to Rank Images from Eye Movements

    Combining multiple information sources can improve the accuracy of search in information retrieval. This paper presents a new image search strategy which combines image features together with implicit feedback from users' eye movements, using them to rank images. In order to better deal with larger data sets, we present a perceptron formulation of the Ranking Support Vector Machine algorithm. We present initial results on inferring the rank of images presented in a page based on simple image features and implicit feedback of users. The results show that the perceptron algorithm improves the results, and that fusing eye movements and image histograms gives better rankings to images than either of these features alone

    Molecular property prediction using pretrained-BERT and Bayesian active learning : a data-efficient approach to drug design

    Publisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2025. | openaire: EC/H2020/956832/EU//AIDDAbstract: In drug discovery, prioritizing compounds for experimental testing is a critical task that can be optimized through active learning by strategically selecting informative molecules. Active learning typically trains models on labeled examples alone, while unlabeled data is only used for acquisition. This fully supervised approach neglects valuable information present in unlabeled molecular data, impairing both predictive performance and the molecule selection process. We address this limitation by integrating a transformer-based BERT model, pretrained on 1.26 million compounds, into the active learning pipeline. This effectively disentangles representation learning and uncertainty estimation, leading to more reliable molecule selection. Experiments on Tox21 and ClinTox datasets demonstrate that our approach achieves equivalent toxic compound identification with 50% fewer iterations compared to conventional active learning. Analysis reveals that pretrained BERT representations generate a structured embedding space enabling reliable uncertainty estimation despite limited labeled data, confirmed through Expected Calibration Error measurements. This work establishes that combining pretrained molecular representations with active learning significantly improves both model performance and acquisition efficiency in drug discovery, providing a scalable framework for compound prioritization. Scientific Contribution: We demonstrate that high-quality molecular representations fundamentally determine active learning success in drug discovery, outweighing acquisition strategy selection. We provide a framework that integrates pretrained transformer models with Bayesian active learning to separate representation learning from uncertainty estimation—a critical distinction in low-data scenarios. This approach establishes a foundation for more efficient screening workflows across diverse pharmaceutical applications.Peer reviewe
