Artists, advertisers, and photographers are routinely presented with the task of creating an image that a viewer will remember. While it may seem like image memorability is purely subjective, recent work shows that it is not an inexplicable phenomenon: variation in memorability of images is consistent across subjects, suggesting that some images are intrinsically more memorable than others, ind...

Contemporary visual environments bombard us with hundreds of face images every day, and this places a nontrivial demand on long-term memory. However, little is known about what makes certain faces remain in our memories, while others are quickly forgotten. To establish a basis for face memorability exploration, we assembled a database of 8,690 face photographs from online sources, spanning dive...

Text passwords are the primary authentication method used for most online services. Many online users select weak passwords. Regrettably, most proposed methods of strengthening passwords compromise memorability. This paper explores a lightweight password creation mechanism’s effect on password memorability. Our system employs Persuasive Technology to assist users in creating stronger passwords....

Password based security is still the most prevalent form of controlling access to trusted resources accessed through computers. There are several difficulties associated with password based systems, the predominant one being password memorability. The average person has approximately 15 passwords to maintain, which engenders a significant cognitive burden if passwords are selected and utilised ...

While long term human visual memory can store a remarkable amount of visual information, it tends to degrade over time. Recent works have shown that image memorability is an intrinsic property of an image that can be reliably estimated using state-of-the-art image features and machine learning algorithms. However, the class of features and image information that is forgotten has not been explor...

Nowadays, multimedia developed so quickly that we are overwhelmed by all sorts of images in our daily life, including the images on the billboard, internet websites, magazines as well as TV shows. However, some images are easily forgotten while others remain stable memory in people’s mind. As has been proved, images have inner characteristics that decide how memorable they are. So far, many dif...

Authentication is the process to provide guaranteed information security and the graphical password authentication method is a convenient and easy process to provide authentication. The major problem of user registration, mostly text base password, is well known. If the login user be inclined to select a simple password which is frequently in his mind it becomes straightforward for attackers to...

rhetorical figures, which are frequently applied in advertisements, can add literary flavor to the texts, gratify audiences’ aesthetic needs, and deepen their impression. in advertisement translation, it is very common that the rhetorical figures applied in the original text are replaced with new ones in the translation. this research focuses on rhetorical figures’ function of enhancing audienc...

We sought to systematically investigate how participants subjectively classify the basis of their recognition memory judgments for low and high word frequency items. We found that participants more often reported rejection processes related to the increased perceived memorability for unstudied low word frequency items (relative to high word frequency items), rather than classifying their decisi...
