Affect Recognition in Ads with Application to Computational Advertising
Advertisements (ads) often include strongly emotional content to leave a
lasting impression on the viewer. This work (i) compiles an affective ad
dataset capable of evoking coherent emotions across users, as determined from
the affective opinions of five experts and 14 annotators; (ii) explores the
efficacy of convolutional neural network (CNN) features for encoding emotions,
and observes that CNN features outperform low-level audio-visual emotion
descriptors upon extensive experimentation; and (iii) demonstrates how enhanced
affect prediction facilitates computational advertising, and leads to better
viewing experience while watching an online video stream embedded with ads
based on a study involving 17 users. We model ad emotions based on subjective
human opinions as well as objective multimodal features, and show how
effectively modeling ad emotions can positively impact a real-life application.Comment: Accepted at the ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM)

Selecting a Small Set of Optimal Gestures from an Extensive Lexicon
Finding the best set of gestures to use for a given computer recognition
problem is an essential part of optimizing the recognition performance while
being mindful to those who may articulate the gestures. An objective function,
called the ellipsoidal distance ratio metric (EDRM), for determining the best
gestures from a larger lexicon library is presented, along with a numerical
method for incorporating subjective preferences. In particular, we demonstrate
an efficient algorithm that chooses the best gestures from a lexicon of
gestures where typically using a weighting of both subjective and
objective measures.Comment: 27 pages, 7 figure

Comprehensive Review of Opinion Summarization
The abundance of opinions on the web has kindled the study of opinion summarization over the last few years. People have introduced various techniques and paradigms to solving this special task. This survey attempts to systematically investigate the different techniques and approaches used in opinion summarization. We provide a multi-perspective classification of the approaches used and highlight some of the key weaknesses of these approaches. This survey also covers evaluation techniques and data sets used in studying the opinion summarization problem. Finally, we provide insights into some of the challenges that are left to be addressed as this will help set the trend for future research in this area.unpublishednot peer reviewe
