Automatic parsing of sports videos with grammars
Motivated by the analogies between languages and sports videos, we introduce a novel
approach for video parsing with grammars. It utilizes compiler techniques for integrating both semantic
annotation and syntactic analysis to generate a semantic index of events and a table of content for a given
sports video. The video sequence is first segmented and annotated by event detection with domain
knowledge. A grammar-based parser is then used to identify the structure of the video content.
Meanwhile, facilities for error handling are introduced which are particularly useful when the results of
automatic parsing need to be adjusted. As a case study, we have developed a system for video parsing in
the particular domain of TV diving programs. Experimental results indicate the proposed approach is
effectiv
Using the Outlier Detection Task to Evaluate Distributional Semantic Models
In this article, we define the outlier detection task and use it to compare neural-based word embeddings with transparent count-based distributional representations. Using the English Wikipedia as a text source to train the models, we observed that embeddings outperform count-based representations when their contexts are made up of bag-of-words. However, there are no sharp differences between the two models if the word contexts are defined as syntactic dependencies. In general, syntax-based models tend to perform better than those based on bag-of-words for this specific task. Similar experiments were carried out for Portuguese with similar results. The test datasets we have created for the outlier detection task in English and Portuguese are freely availableThis work was supported by a 2016 BBVA Foundation Grant for Researchers and Cultural Creators and by Project TELEPARES, Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (FFI2014-51978-C2-1-R).
