The study compares human and vision‑language model (VLM) responses to cross‑modal association tasks, using identical stimuli (a pseudo‑word and two images) and recording both choices and eye movements. While larger VLMs show some alignment with human choices, their attention patterns correlate poorly with human gaze, performing no better than a simple center‑bias baseline. Fine‑tuning VLMs on human choices improves choice alignment but not attention alignment, and training on human gaze improves attention correlation without affecting choice accuracy.
AVAtt is a free‑viewing eye‑tracking dataset comprising Images{} paintings from sixteen art movements and five centuries, with Scanpaths{} scanpaths and Fixations{} fixations collected from Participants{} participants. The dataset provides individual scanpaths, fixation timing, eye‑screen distance, fixation and saliency maps, temporal saliency videos, and rich art metadata. A benchmark of classic and deep saliency models shows significant room for improvement, and 44 scanpath‑similarity measures—including a new language‑free image‑encoder family—are ranked.
