Learning to detect video events from zero or very few video examples
In this work we deal with the problem of high-level event detection in video.
Specifically, we study the challenging problems of i) learning to detect video
events from solely a textual description of the event, without using any
positive video examples, and ii) additionally exploiting very few positive
training samples together with a small number of ``related'' videos. For
learning only from an event's textual description, we first identify a general
learning framework and then study the impact of different design choices for
various stages of this framework. For additionally learning from example
videos, when true positive training samples are scarce, we employ an extension
of the Support Vector Machine that allows us to exploit ``related'' event
videos by automatically introducing different weights for subsets of the videos
in the overall training set. Experimental evaluations performed on the
large-scale TRECVID MED 2014 video dataset provide insight on the effectiveness
of the proposed methods.Comment: Image and Vision Computing Journal, Elsevier, 2015, accepted for

From the past few years, it also became an attractive research area in visual computing. From the computational point of view, by far speech and text have been the most considered cues of information for analyzing personality. However, recently there has been an increasing interest from the computer vision community in analyzing personality from visual data. Recent computer vision approaches are able to accurately analyze human faces, body postures and behaviors, and use these information to infer apparent personality traits. Because of the overwhelming research interest in this topic, and of the potential impact that this sort of methods could have in society, we present in this paper an up-to-date review of existing vision-based approaches for apparent personality trait recognition. We describe seminal and cutting edge works on the subject, discussing and comparing their distinctive features and limitations. Future venues of research in the field are identified and discussed. Furthermore, aspects on the subjectivity in data labeling/evaluation, as well as current datasets and challenges organized to push the research on the field are reviewed.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
