Table 2: Comparing scanpath prediction algorithms.
(rows) using multiple scanpath metrics (columns) on the COCO-Search18 test dataset. In the case of Sequence Score and Multimatch, “Human” refers to an oracle method where one searcher’s scanpath is used to predict another searcher’s scanpath; “Human” for all other metrics refers to observed behavior.
