TEST: A Tropic, Embodied, and Situated Theory of Cognition
TEST is a novel taxonomy of knowledge representations based on three distinct hierarchically organized representational features: Tropism, Embodiment, and Situatedness. Tropic representational features reflect constraints of the physical world on the agent’s ability to form, reactivate, and enrich embodied (i.e., resulting from the agent’s bodily constraints) conceptual representations embedded in situated contexts. The proposed hierarchy entails that representations can, in principle, have tropic features without necessarily having situated and/or embodied features. On the other hand, representations that are situated and/or embodied are likely to be simultaneously tropic. Hence while we propose tropism as the most general term, the hierarchical relationship between embodiment and situatedness is more on a par, such that the dominance of one component over the other relies on the distinction between offline storage vs. online generation as well as on representation-specific properties
Learning to Hash-tag Videos with Tag2Vec
User-given tags or labels are valuable resources for semantic understanding
of visual media such as images and videos. Recently, a new type of labeling
mechanism known as hash-tags have become increasingly popular on social media
sites. In this paper, we study the problem of generating relevant and useful
hash-tags for short video clips. Traditional data-driven approaches for tag
enrichment and recommendation use direct visual similarity for label transfer
and propagation. We attempt to learn a direct low-cost mapping from video to
hash-tags using a two step training process. We first employ a natural language
processing (NLP) technique, skip-gram models with neural network training to
learn a low-dimensional vector representation of hash-tags (Tag2Vec) using a
corpus of 10 million hash-tags. We then train an embedding function to map
video features to the low-dimensional Tag2vec space. We learn this embedding
for 29 categories of short video clips with hash-tags. A query video without
any tag-information can then be directly mapped to the vector space of tags
using the learned embedding and relevant tags can be found by performing a
simple nearest-neighbor retrieval in the Tag2Vec space. We validate the
relevance of the tags suggested by our system qualitatively and quantitatively
with a user study
