Abstract
We propose an effective framework for salient region detection in natural images based on the concept of self-guided statistical non-redundancy (SGNR). Salient regions are unique, because they have low information redundancy within a given image, while the rest of the scene may highly be redundant. We first analyze the structural characteristics of the image using structured image elements (samples) and classify them as being non-redundant or redundant based on textural compactness and overall non-redundancy. This guides saliency detection toward regions with low information redundancy by considering explicitly high information redundancy of samples potentially belonging to the background. We then compute the saliency map by determining the statistical non-redundancy of each sample using a conditional graph model. Experimental results based on publicly available data sets show that SGNR provides promising results when compared with existing saliency approaches.

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
