Using bag-of-concepts to improve the performance of support vector machines in text categorization
This paper investigates the use of concept-based representations for text categorization. We introduce a new approach to create concept-based text representations, and apply it to a standard text categorization collection. The representations are used as input to a Support Vector Machine classifier, and the results show that there are certain categories for which concept-based representations constitute a viable supplement to word-based ones. We also demonstrate how the performance of the Support Vector Machine can be improved by combining representations
An Abstract Approach to Stratification in Linear Logic
We study the notion of stratification, as used in subsystems of linear logic
with low complexity bounds on the cut-elimination procedure (the so-called
light logics), from an abstract point of view, introducing a logical system in
which stratification is handled by a separate modality. This modality, which is
a generalization of the paragraph modality of Girard's light linear logic,
arises from a general categorical construction applicable to all models of
linear logic. We thus learn that stratification may be formulated independently
of exponential modalities; when it is forced to be connected to exponential
modalities, it yields interesting complexity properties. In particular, from
our analysis stem three alternative reformulations of Baillot and Mazza's
linear logic by levels: one geometric, one interactive, and one semantic
Reliable camera motion estimation from compressed MPEG videos using machine learning approach
As an important feature in characterizing video content, camera motion has been widely applied in various multimedia and computer vision applications. A novel method for fast and reliable estimation of camera motion from MPEG videos is proposed, using support vector machine for estimation in a regression model trained on a synthesized sequence. Experiments conducted on real sequences show that the proposed method yields much improved results in estimating camera motions while the difficulty in selecting valid macroblocks and motion vectors is skipped
