Learning Features by Watching Objects Move (2016, background): “To do so, they may rely on the Gestalt principle of common fate [31, 44]: pixels that move together tend to belong together.”
Taskonomy: Disentangling Task Transfer Learning (2018, background): “Segmentation, Unsupervised (2D)) Gestalt psychologists proposed principles of grouping as a mechanism through which humans learn to perceive the world as a set of coherent objects [43].”
Multitalker Speech Separation With Utterance-Level Permutation Invariant Training of Deep Recurrent Neural Networks (2017, methodology): “m. Before the deep learning era, the most popular technique was computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) [10], [11]. In this approach, certain segmentation rules based on perceptual grouping cues [12] are (often semi-manually) designed to operate on low-level features to estimate a timefrequency”
Permutation invariant training of deep models for speaker-independent multi-talker speech separation (2016, background): “In this approach, certain segmentation rules based on perceptual grouping cues [11] are (often semi-manually) designed to operate on low-level features to estimate a time-frequency mask that isolates the signal components belonging to different speakers.”
Attentional Resources Measured by Reaction Times Highlight Differences Within Pleasant and Unpleasant, High Arousing Stimuli (2002, background): “It is possible that complexity is related to the tendency towards simplicity that characterizes the human perceptual system, so that configurations that are harder to organize according to the Gestalt principles are, in fact, more complex (Wertheimer, 1939).”
Bridging the Gap between Social Animal and Unsocial Machine: A Survey of Social Signal Processing (2012, unknown): “In perception a physical stimulus (a pattern of physical energy) is received by an individual’s sensory apparatus and then dynamically modeled through the effects of gestalt laws [47] becomes”
Extremeness Aversion and Attribute-Balance Effects in Choice (2004, background): “In the case of balanced alternatives, this effect is compounded by the fact that these alternatives have identical attribute values and, hence, are more likely to be directly compared in choice—an argument that implies a psychological mechanism similar to the processes that underlie the Gestalt prin”
Beyond dual-process models: A categorisation of processes underlying intuitive judgement and decision making (2010, background): “Automatic-intuitive processes are, for instance, activated in visual perception (McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981; Wertheimer, 1938a, 1938b) and social perception (Bruner & Goodman, 1947; Read & Miller, 1998; Read, Vanman, & Miller, 1997) to structure information in our environment and to quickly form…”
The Import of Knowledge Export: Connecting Findings and Theories of Transfer of Learning (2012, background): “Some of this efficiency may derive from the availability of general, possibly innate organizing principles, such as those suggested by the Gestaltists (e.g., Metzger, 1936; Wertheimer, 1938) or more recently by developmental psychologists such as Spelke (1990) and Baillargeon (1987).”
Stereo Video Object Segmentation Using Stereoscopic Foreground Trajectories (2019, background): “According to the Gestalt principle [19], motion is the powerful perceptual feature for segmentation.”
Efficient Graph-Based Image Segmentation (2004, unknown): “Since the time of the Gestalt movement in psychology (e.g., Wertheimer, 1938), it has been known that perceptual grouping plays a powerful role in human visual perception .”
