Active Observer Visual Problem-Solving Methods are Dynamically Hypothesized, Deployed and Tested
The STAR architecture was designed to test the value of the full Selective Tuning model of visual attention for complex real-world visuospatial tasks and behaviors. However, knowledge of how humans solve such tasks in 3D as active observers is lean. We thus devised a novel experimental setup and examined such behavior. We discovered that humans exhibit a variety of problem-solving strategies whose breadth and complexity are surprising and not easily handled by current methodologies. It is apparent that solution methods are dynamically composed by hypothesizing sequences of actions, testing them, and if they fail, trying different ones. The importance of active observation is striking as is the lack of any learning effect. These results inform our Cognitive Program representation of STAR extending its relevance to real-world tasks.

PESAO: Psychophysical Experimental Setup for Active Observers
Most past and present research in computer vision involves passively observed data. Humans, however, are active observers outside the lab; they explore, search, select what and how to look. Nonetheless, how exactly activ…
Visual Noise from Natural Scene Statistics Reveals Human Scene Category Representations
Our perceptions are guided both by the bottom-up information entering our eyes, as well as our top-down expectations of what we will see. Although bottom-up visual processing has been extensively studied, comparatively l…
Cooperative Hypothesis Testing by Two Observers with Asymmetric Information
We consider the binary hypothesis testing problem with two observers. There are two possible states of nature (or hypotheses). Observations collected by the two observers are statistically related to the true state of na…
Vocal Bursts Valence PredictionFrom Control to Mathematics-Part II: Observability-Based Design for Iterative Methods in Solving Linear Equations
The control approaches generally resort to the tools from the mathematics, but whether and how the mathematics can benefit from the control approaches is unclear. This paper aims to bring the "control design" idea into t…
Agentic-MME: What Agentic Capability Really Brings to Multimodal Intelligence?
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) are evolving from passive observers into active agents, solving problems through Visual Expansion (invoking visual tools) and Knowledge Expansion (open-web search). However, exist…
