Exploring the Semantic-Inconsistency Effect in Scenes Using a Continuous Measure of Linguistic-Semantic Similarity

Viewers use contextual information to visually explore complex scenes. Object recognition is facilitated by exploiting object-scene relations (which objects are expected in a given scene) and object-object relations (which objects are expected because of the occurrence of other objects). Semantically inconsistent objects deviate from these expectations, so they tend to capture viewers' attention (the
