In an empirical comparisons of algorithms we might compare run times over a set of benchmark problems to decide which one is fastest, i.e. an algorithmic horse race. Ideally we would like to download source code for the algorithms, compile and then run on our machine. Sometimes code isn't available to download and sometimes resource isn't available to implement all the algorithms we want to stu...

This study aims at finding a typical pattern in the eye movement, when human obtains an interpretation of a presented image. We conducted experiments where subjects looked at abstract artworks and commercial posters. We compared the eye track lines with subjects’ statements about the interpretation of the image.
