Visual Interestingness - All images are equal but some images are more equal than others
Interestingness -- the power of attracting or holding one's attention (thefreedictionary.com). Not only the features of a given object or event determines whether it is considered as being interesting or not, but also prior knowledge, the current task or even emotional or motivational valence. In the project ...
