Just got back from Hawaii, where I presented a workshop paper on image memorability at @iccv.bsky.social 🌺 Coming from multimodal NLP, it was my first time attending a CV conference. Everywhere I looked, there were talks and posters that were incredibly interesting!

What makes an image memorable? And can we predict image memorability using pretrained vision encoders? We explored activations, attention distributions, image patch uniformity and sparse autoencoder losses using image representations across the layers of CLIP, DINOv2 and SigLIP2.
