Abstract
Attention retargeting in images is a concept in which the content or composition of the image is altered in an effort to guide the viewer's attention to a specific location. In this paper, we propose a method that modifies the color of a selected region in an image to increase its saliency and draw attention towards it. To avoid many of the issues present in existing approaches to attention retargeting, including high computational complexity and unnatural-looking modifications to the images, we make the case for adjusting hue while leaving all remaining color components fixed. By representing the hue as an angle in CIE L*a*b* color space, we may express an adjustment in hue as a rotation in this space. The optimal hue adjustment is the rotation that maximizes the dissimilarity of hue distribution of the selected region relative to its surroundings. We apply our method on a set of natural images and confirm its effectiveness in guiding attention through eye-tracking. The naturalness of the results are evaluated in a separate set of subjective experiments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
