Revising Knowledge Discovery for Object Representation with Spatio-Semantic Feature Integration
In large social networks, web objects become increasingly popular. Multimedia object classification and representation is a necessary step of multimedia information retrieval. Indexing and organizing these web objects for the purpose of convenient browsing and search of the objects, and to effectively reveal interesting patterns from the objects. For all these tasks, classifying the web objects into manipulable semantic categories is an essential procedure. One important issue for classification of objects is the representation of images. To perform supervised classification tasks, the knowledge is extracted from unlabeled objects through unsupervised learning. In order to represent the images in a more meaningful and effective way rather than using the basic Bag-of-words (BoW) model, a novel image representation model called Bag-of-visual phrases(BoP) is used. In this model visual words are obtained using hierarchical clustering and visual phrases are generated by vector classifier of visual words. To obtain the Spatio-semantic correlation knowledge the frequently co-occurring pairs are calculated from visual vocabulary. After the successful object representation, the tags, comments, and descriptions of web objects are separated by using most likelihood method. The spatial and semantic differentiation power of image features can be enhanced via this BoP model and likelihood method.

Image mining: trends and developments
[Abstract]: Advances in image acquisition and storage technology have led to tremendous growth in very large and detailed image databases. These images, if analyzed, can reveal useful information to the human users. Image mining deals with the extraction of implicit knowledge, image data relationship, or other patterns not explicitly stored in the images. Image mining is more than just an extension of data mining to image domain. It is an interdisciplinary endeavor that draws upon expertise in computer vision, image processing, image retrieval, data mining, machine learning, database, and artificial intelligence. In this paper, we will examine the research issues in image mining, current developments in image mining, particularly, image mining frameworks, state-of-the-art techniques and systems. We will also identify some future research directions for image mining
Context-Aware Embeddings for Automatic Art Analysis
Automatic art analysis aims to classify and retrieve artistic representations
from a collection of images by using computer vision and machine learning
techniques. In this work, we propose to enhance visual representations from
neural networks with contextual artistic information. Whereas visual
representations are able to capture information about the content and the style
of an artwork, our proposed context-aware embeddings additionally encode
relationships between different artistic attributes, such as author, school, or
historical period. We design two different approaches for using context in
automatic art analysis. In the first one, contextual data is obtained through a
multi-task learning model, in which several attributes are trained together to
find visual relationships between elements. In the second approach, context is
obtained through an art-specific knowledge graph, which encodes relationships
between artistic attributes. An exhaustive evaluation of both of our models in
several art analysis problems, such as author identification, type
classification, or cross-modal retrieval, show that performance is improved by
up to 7.3% in art classification and 37.24% in retrieval when context-aware
embeddings are used
Multimodal Classification of Urban Micro-Events
In this paper we seek methods to effectively detect urban micro-events. Urban
micro-events are events which occur in cities, have limited geographical
coverage and typically affect only a small group of citizens. Because of their
scale these are difficult to identify in most data sources. However, by using
citizen sensing to gather data, detecting them becomes feasible. The data
gathered by citizen sensing is often multimodal and, as a consequence, the
information required to detect urban micro-events is distributed over multiple
modalities. This makes it essential to have a classifier capable of combining
them. In this paper we explore several methods of creating such a classifier,
including early, late, hybrid fusion and representation learning using
multimodal graphs. We evaluate performance on a real world dataset obtained
from a live citizen reporting system. We show that a multimodal approach yields
higher performance than unimodal alternatives. Furthermore, we demonstrate that
our hybrid combination of early and late fusion with multimodal embeddings
performs best in classification of urban micro-events
Deep Cross-Modal Correlation Learning for Audio and Lyrics in Music Retrieval
Deep cross-modal learning has successfully demonstrated excellent performance in cross-modal multimedia retrieval, with the aim of learning joint representations between different data modalities. Unfortunately, little research focuses on cross-modal correlation learning where temporal structures of different data modalities such as audio and lyrics should be taken into account. Stemming from the characteristic of temporal structures of music in nature, we are motivated to learn the deep sequential correlation between audio and lyrics. In this work, we propose a deep cross-modal correlation learning architecture involving two-branch deep neural networks for audio modality and text modality (lyrics). Data in different modalities are converted to the same canonical space where inter modal canonical correlation analysis is utilized as an objective function to calculate the similarity of temporal structures. This is the first study that uses deep architectures for learning the temporal correlation between audio and lyrics. A pre-trained Doc2Vec model followed by fully-connected layers is used to represent lyrics. Two significant contributions are made in the audio branch, as follows: i) We propose an end-to-end network to learn cross-modal correlation between audio and lyrics, where feature extraction and correlation learning are simultaneously performed and joint representation is learned by considering temporal structures. ii) As for feature extraction, we further represent an audio signal by a short sequence of local summaries (VGG16 features) and apply a recurrent neural network to compute a compact feature that better learns temporal structures of music audio. Experimental results, using audio to retrieve lyrics or using lyrics to retrieve audio, verify the effectiveness of the proposed deep correlation learning architectures in cross-modal music retrieval
