[2/4] Accuracy of saliency maps measured with gaze data varies with frame content (2 frames of a video shown below) & no. of available observers. Hence, it is hard to guarantee high per-frame accuracy of measured per-frame saliency of dynamic videos, esp. with few observers.

[3/4] The traditional training of a saliency predictor is prone to noise overfitting since the discrepancy netween predicted & measured (noisy) saliency map is directly minimized. With our method (NAT), we reduce overfitting to noisy maps by accounting for the noise in each map.
