用注意力模式预测用户可视化素养,反向提升设计个性化

Tell Me Without Telling Me: Two-Way Prediction of Visualization Literacy and Visual Attention

  • 基于235人实验数据,发现专家与新手注意力模式差异
  • 提出双模型:根据素养预测注意力,或从注意力反推素养水平
  • 单次注视图可90%准确识别素养,一分钟内完成评估

考虑个体差异能提升可视化设计效果。尽管视觉注意力在理解可视化中的作用已被广泛认可,但现有研究常忽视其随可视化素养水平变化的特性。基于包含235名参与者的三项测试(mini-VLAT、CALVI、SGL)数据,我们发现:高素养者(专家)在数据探索中表现出更强的注意力聚焦,而低素养者(新手)注意力较分散且探索更广泛。据此,我们提出两个计算模型:Lit2Sal——一种新视觉显著性模型,可根据用户可视化素养预测其注意力分布;Sal2Lit——用于从人类视觉注意力数据中预测可视化素养。定量与定性评估表明,Lit2Sal在纳入素养信息的模型中表现优于现有先进方法。Sal2Lit仅需一张注意力图即可实现86%的素养预测准确率,评估耗时不足一分钟。该方法为个性化可视化传播提供了新路径,显著增强信息理解效果。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accounting for individual differences can improve the effectiveness of visualization design. While the role of visual attention in visualization interpretation is well recognized, existing work often overlooks how this behavior varies based on visual literacy levels. Based on data from a 235-participant user study covering three visualization tests (mini-VLAT, CALVI, and SGL), we show that distinct attention patterns in visual data exploration can correlate with participants' literacy levels: While experts (high-scorers) generally show a strong attentional focus, novices (low-scorers) focus less and explore more. We then propose two computational models leveraging these insights: Lit2Sal -- a novel visual saliency model that predicts observer attention given their visualization literacy level, and Sal2Lit -- a model to predict visual literacy from human visual attention data. Our quantitative and qualitative evaluation demonstrates that Lit2Sal outperforms state-of-the-art saliency models with literacy-aware considerations. Sal2Lit predicts literacy with 86% accuracy using a single attention map, providing a time-efficient supplement to literacy assessment that only takes less than a minute. Taken together, our unique approach to consider individual differences in salience models and visual attention in literacy assessments paves the way for new directions in personalized visual data communication to enhance understanding.
