DocTag2Vec: An Embedding Based Multi-label Learning Approach for Document Tagging
Tagging news articles or blog posts with relevant tags from a collection of
predefined ones is coined as document tagging in this work. Accurate tagging of
articles can benefit several downstream applications such as recommendation and
search. In this work, we propose a novel yet simple approach called DocTag2Vec
to accomplish this task. We substantially extend Word2Vec and Doc2Vec---two
popular models for learning distributed representation of words and documents.
In DocTag2Vec, we simultaneously learn the representation of words, documents,
and tags in a joint vector space during training, and employ the simple
-nearest neighbor search to predict tags for unseen documents. In contrast
to previous multi-label learning methods, DocTag2Vec directly deals with raw
text instead of provided feature vector, and in addition, enjoys advantages
like the learning of tag representation, and the ability of handling newly
created tags. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct
experiments on several datasets and show promising results against
state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 10 page
Automatic tagging and geotagging in video collections and communities
Automatically generated tags and geotags hold great promise
to improve access to video collections and online communi-
ties. We overview three tasks offered in the MediaEval 2010
benchmarking initiative, for each, describing its use scenario, definition and the data set released. For each task, a reference algorithm is presented that was used within MediaEval 2010 and comments are included on lessons learned. The Tagging Task, Professional involves automatically matching episodes in a collection of Dutch television with subject labels drawn from the keyword thesaurus used by the archive staff. The Tagging Task, Wild Wild Web involves automatically predicting the tags that are assigned by users to their online videos. Finally, the Placing Task requires automatically assigning geo-coordinates to videos. The specification of each task admits the use of the full range of available information including user-generated metadata, speech recognition transcripts, audio, and visual features
A Data-Driven Approach for Tag Refinement and Localization in Web Videos
Tagging of visual content is becoming more and more widespread as web-based
services and social networks have popularized tagging functionalities among
their users. These user-generated tags are used to ease browsing and
exploration of media collections, e.g. using tag clouds, or to retrieve
multimedia content. However, not all media are equally tagged by users. Using
the current systems is easy to tag a single photo, and even tagging a part of a
photo, like a face, has become common in sites like Flickr and Facebook. On the
other hand, tagging a video sequence is more complicated and time consuming, so
that users just tag the overall content of a video. In this paper we present a
method for automatic video annotation that increases the number of tags
originally provided by users, and localizes them temporally, associating tags
to keyframes. Our approach exploits collective knowledge embedded in
user-generated tags and web sources, and visual similarity of keyframes and
images uploaded to social sites like YouTube and Flickr, as well as web sources
like Google and Bing. Given a keyframe, our method is able to select on the fly
from these visual sources the training exemplars that should be the most
relevant for this test sample, and proceeds to transfer labels across similar
images. Compared to existing video tagging approaches that require training
classifiers for each tag, our system has few parameters, is easy to implement
and can deal with an open vocabulary scenario. We demonstrate the approach on
tag refinement and localization on DUT-WEBV, a large dataset of web videos, and
show state-of-the-art results.Comment: Preprint submitted to Computer Vision and Image Understanding (CVIU
Socializing the Semantic Gap: A Comparative Survey on Image Tag Assignment, Refinement and Retrieval
Where previous reviews on content-based image retrieval emphasize on what can
be seen in an image to bridge the semantic gap, this survey considers what
people tag about an image. A comprehensive treatise of three closely linked
problems, i.e., image tag assignment, refinement, and tag-based image retrieval
is presented. While existing works vary in terms of their targeted tasks and
methodology, they rely on the key functionality of tag relevance, i.e.
estimating the relevance of a specific tag with respect to the visual content
of a given image and its social context. By analyzing what information a
specific method exploits to construct its tag relevance function and how such
information is exploited, this paper introduces a taxonomy to structure the
growing literature, understand the ingredients of the main works, clarify their
connections and difference, and recognize their merits and limitations. For a
head-to-head comparison between the state-of-the-art, a new experimental
protocol is presented, with training sets containing 10k, 100k and 1m images
and an evaluation on three test sets, contributed by various research groups.
Eleven representative works are implemented and evaluated. Putting all this
together, the survey aims to provide an overview of the past and foster
progress for the near future.Comment: to appear in ACM Computing Survey
