Computational Emotion Analysis From Images: Recent Advances and Future Directions
Emotions are usually evoked in humans by images. Recently, extensive research
efforts have been dedicated to understanding the emotions of images. In this
chapter, we aim to introduce image emotion analysis (IEA) from a computational
perspective with the focus on summarizing recent advances and suggesting future
directions. We begin with commonly used emotion representation models from
psychology. We then define the key computational problems that the researchers
have been trying to solve and provide supervised frameworks that are generally
used for different IEA tasks. After the introduction of major challenges in
IEA, we present some representative methods on emotion feature extraction,
supervised classifier learning, and domain adaptation. Furthermore, we
introduce available datasets for evaluation and summarize some main results.
Finally, we discuss some open questions and future directions that researchers
can pursue.Comment: Accepted chapter in the book "Human Perception of Visual Information

Web Data Extraction, Applications and Techniques: A Survey
Web Data Extraction is an important problem that has been studied by means of
different scientific tools and in a broad range of applications. Many
approaches to extracting data from the Web have been designed to solve specific
problems and operate in ad-hoc domains. Other approaches, instead, heavily
reuse techniques and algorithms developed in the field of Information
Extraction.
This survey aims at providing a structured and comprehensive overview of the
literature in the field of Web Data Extraction. We provided a simple
classification framework in which existing Web Data Extraction applications are
grouped into two main classes, namely applications at the Enterprise level and
at the Social Web level. At the Enterprise level, Web Data Extraction
techniques emerge as a key tool to perform data analysis in Business and
Competitive Intelligence systems as well as for business process
re-engineering. At the Social Web level, Web Data Extraction techniques allow
to gather a large amount of structured data continuously generated and
disseminated by Web 2.0, Social Media and Online Social Network users and this
offers unprecedented opportunities to analyze human behavior at a very large
scale. We discuss also the potential of cross-fertilization, i.e., on the
possibility of re-using Web Data Extraction techniques originally designed to
work in a given domain, in other domains.Comment: Knowledge-based System
Cross-domain opinion word extraction model
In this paper we consider a new approach for domain-specific opinion word extraction in Russian. We propose a set of statistical features and algorithm combination that can discriminate opinion words in a particular domain. The extraction model is trained in a movie domain and then applied to four other domains. We evaluate the quality of obtained sentiment lexicons intrinsically. Finally, our method is adapted to a movie domain in English and demonstrates comparable results
