Fuzzy aesthetic semantics description and extraction for art image retrieval
AbstractMore and more digitized art images are accumulated and expanded in our daily life and techniques are needed to be established on how to organize and retrieve them. Though content-based image retrieval (CBIR) made great progress, current low-level visual information based retrieval technology in CBIR does not allow users to search images by high-level semantics for art image retrieval. We propose a fuzzy approach to describe and to extract the fuzzy aesthetic semantic feature of art images. Aiming to deal with the subjectivity and vagueness of human aesthetic perception, we utilize the linguistic variable to describe the image aesthetic semantics, so it becomes possible to depict images in linguistic expression such as âvery actionâ. Furthermore, we apply neural network approach to model the process of human aesthetic perception and to extract the fuzzy aesthetic semantic feature vector. The art image retrieval system based on fuzzy aesthetic semantic feature makes users more naturally search desired images by linguistic expression. We report extensive empirical studies based on a 5000-image set, and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves excellent performance in terms of retrieval accuracy
Detecting Family Resemblance: Automated Genre Classification.
This paper presents results in automated genre classification of digital documents in PDF format. It describes genre classification as an important ingredient in contextualising scientific data and in retrieving targetted material for improving research. The current paper compares the role of visual layout, stylistic features and language model features in clustering documents and presents results in retrieving five selected genres (Scientific Article, Thesis, Periodicals, Business Report, and Form) from a pool of materials populated with documents of the nineteen most popular genres found in our experimental data set.
Prototypicality effects in global semantic description of objects
In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for semantic description of
object features based on the prototypicality effects of the Prototype Theory.
Our prototype-based description model encodes and stores the semantic meaning
of an object, while describing its features using the semantic prototype
computed by CNN-classifications models. Our method uses semantic prototypes to
create discriminative descriptor signatures that describe an object
highlighting its most distinctive features within the category. Our experiments
show that: i) our descriptor preserves the semantic information used by the
CNN-models in classification tasks; ii) our distance metric can be used as the
object's typicality score; iii) our descriptor signatures are semantically
interpretable and enables the simulation of the prototypical organization of
objects within a category.Comment: Paper accepted in IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer

Multimodal Data Analytics and Fusion for Data Science
Advances in technologies have rapidly accumulated a zettabyte of ânewâ data every two years. The huge amount of data have a powerful impact on various areas in science and engineering and generates enormous research opportunities, which calls for the design and development of advanced approaches in data analytics. Given such demands, data science has become an emerging hot topic in both industry and academia, ranging from basic business solutions, technological innovations, and multidisciplinary research to political decisions, urban planning, and policymaking. Within the scope of this dissertation, a multimodal data analytics and fusion framework is proposed for data-driven knowledge discovery and cross-modality semantic concept detection. The proposed framework can explore useful knowledge hidden in different formats of data and incorporate representation learning from data in multimodalities, especial for disaster information management. First, a Feature Affinity-based Multiple Correspondence Analysis (FA-MCA) method is presented to analyze the correlations between low-level features from different features, and an MCA-based Neural Network (MCA-NN) ispro- posedto capture the high-level features from individual FA-MCA models and seamlessly integrate the semantic data representations for video concept detection. Next, a genetic algorithm-based approach is presented for deep neural network selection. Furthermore, the improved genetic algorithm is integrated with deep neural networks to generate populations for producing optimal deep representation learning models. Then, the multimodal deep representation learning framework is proposed to incorporate the semantic representations from data in multiple modalities efficiently. At last, fusion strategies are applied to accommodate multiple modalities. In this framework, cross-modal mapping strategies are also proposed to organize the features in a better structure to improve the overall performance
Evolving text classification rules with genetic programming
We describe a novel method for using genetic programming to create compact classification rules using combinations of N-grams (character strings). Genetic programs acquire fitness by producing rules that are effective classifiers in terms of precision and recall when evaluated against a set of training documents. We describe a set of functions and terminals and provide results from a classification task using the Reuters 21578 dataset. We also suggest that the rules may have a number of other uses beyond classification and provide a basis for text mining applications
