TPNAME:Zainab AlMeraj
TPTITLE:Visual Explanations
TPABSTRACT:I will be presenting Decarlo's paper  "Visual Explanations" published in NPAR 2010. <nl><nl>Due to overwhelming information surrounding the functioning of our human perceptual system, new ideas are being developed to address immediate improvements to automatic depiction in graphics. <nl>Decarlo proposes 'Visual explanations', representations that account for patterns in two dimensions as evidence of a visual world. <nl>This representation contains semantics about structure found in a scene that can be used to improve communicating content to viewers.<nl>Efforts towards representations are meant to improve the link between both computer graphics and perceptual sciences. <nl><nl>
