Abstract: A method for controlling a device to manage a visual saliency model can include receiving, via a processor in the device, a center bias map and a saliency density ground-truth map for an image; normalizing values of the saliency density ground-truth map to generate a normalized density ground-truth map; and comparing values of the normalized density ground-truth map to a predefined threshold value to generate an enhanced ground-truth map. The method can further include subtracting the enhanced ground-truth map from the center bias map to generate a negative candidates map; normalizing values of the negative candidates map to generate a normalized candidates map; and performing a sampling process on the normalized candidates map to generate a negative point map. Also, the method includes applying a filter function to the negative point map to generate a negative density map.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media are provided for identifying and clustering queries that are rising in popularity. Resultant clustered queries can be compared to other stored queries using textual and temporal correlations. Fresh indices containing information and results from recently crawled content sources are searched to obtain the most recent query activity. Historical indices are also searched to obtain temporally correlated information and results that match the clustered query stream. A weighted average acceleration of a spike can be calculated to distinguish between a legitimate spike and a non-legitimate spike. Legitimate clusters are combined with other stored clusters and presented as grouped content results to a user output device.
