In this work, we propose a novel method that generates a scene graph that reflects what humans find important when describing an image. During training, our scene generation method is guided by human-drafted captions describing the images, which we assume will focus on essential scene elements. This guidance is realized by properly designed loss functions. During inference, scene graphs are generated solely from images. We evaluate the resulting scene graphs by comparing them with the ground-truth scene graphs of Visual Genome that are created by humans. Evaluation is done with recall- and precision-oriented metrics and graph edit distances. In the first set of experiments, we benchmark existing scene graph generation models, then we add the newly proposed loss functions leading to improved performance, especially in terms of the graph edit distance. Extra experiments show that the correct recognition of unimportant background objects and their relationships is crucial when generating human-like scene graphs. <i>The codebase is released on github:</i> https://github.com/VSJMilewski/relevance_graphs.</p>","PeriodicalId":18770,"journal":{"name":"Multimedia Tools and Applications","volume":"85 6","pages":"552"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13233628/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148199309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particularly in idiosyncratic manufacturing situations involving customised products and diverse complex and non-complex products and its variants, the applicability and attractiveness of AR as a worker assistance system is often unclear and difficult to gauge for decision-makers. To address this gap, we developed a decision support tool to help prepare customised deployment strategies for AR-based assistance systems utilising manual assembly as the main example. Consequently, we report results from an interview study with sixteen domain experts. Furthermore, when analysing captured expert knowledge, we found significant differences in criteria weighting based on task complexity and other factors, such as the effort required to obtain data.</p>","PeriodicalId":18770,"journal":{"name":"Multimedia Tools and Applications","volume":"84 21","pages":"23617-23641"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12222328/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144575902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
