Ontologies and Information Extraction
This report argues that, even in the simplest cases, IE is an ontology-driven
process. It is not a mere text filtering method based on simple pattern
matching and keywords, because the extracted pieces of texts are interpreted
with respect to a predefined partial domain model. This report shows that
depending on the nature and the depth of the interpretation to be done for
extracting the information, more or less knowledge must be involved. This
report is mainly illustrated in biology, a domain in which there are critical
needs for content-based exploration of the scientific literature and which
becomes a major application domain for IE
Learning a Pose Lexicon for Semantic Action Recognition
This paper presents a novel method for learning a pose lexicon comprising
semantic poses defined by textual instructions and their associated visual
poses defined by visual features. The proposed method simultaneously takes two
input streams, semantic poses and visual pose candidates, and statistically
learns a mapping between them to construct the lexicon. With the learned
lexicon, action recognition can be cast as the problem of finding the maximum
translation probability of a sequence of semantic poses given a stream of
visual pose candidates. Experiments evaluating pre-trained and zero-shot action
recognition conducted on MSRC-12 gesture and WorkoutSu-10 exercise datasets
were used to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.Comment: Accepted by the 2016 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and
