Predicting memorability of face photographs with deep neural networks.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
With the advent of social media in our daily life, we are exposed to a plethora of images, particularly face photographs, every day. Recent behavioural studies have shown that some of these photographs stick in the mind better than others. Previous research have shown that memorability is an intrinsic property of an image, hence the memorability of an image can be computed from that image. Moreover, various works found that the memorability of an image is highly consistent across people and also over time. Recently, researchers employed deep neural networks to predict image memorability. Here, we show although those models perform well on scene and object images, they perform poorly on photographs of human faces. We demonstrate and explain why generic memorability models do not result in an acceptable performance on face photographs and propose seven different models to estimate the memorability of face images. In addition, we show that these models outperform the previous classical methods, which were used for predicting face memorability.
