Evaluation of Output Embeddings for Fine-Grained Image Classification
Image classification has advanced significantly in recent years with the
availability of large-scale image sets. However, fine-grained classification
remains a major challenge due to the annotation cost of large numbers of
fine-grained categories. This project shows that compelling classification
performance can be achieved on such categories even without labeled training
data. Given image and class embeddings, we learn a compatibility function such
that matching embeddings are assigned a higher score than mismatching ones;
zero-shot classification of an image proceeds by finding the label yielding the
highest joint compatibility score. We use state-of-the-art image features and
focus on different supervised attributes and unsupervised output embeddings
either derived from hierarchies or learned from unlabeled text corpora. We
establish a substantially improved state-of-the-art on the Animals with
Attributes and Caltech-UCSD Birds datasets. Most encouragingly, we demonstrate
that purely unsupervised output embeddings (learned from Wikipedia and improved
with fine-grained text) achieve compelling results, even outperforming the
previous supervised state-of-the-art. By combining different output embeddings,
we further improve results.Comment: @inproceedings {ARWLS15, title = {Evaluation of Output Embeddings for

Text Classification Using Association Rules, Dependency Pruning and Hyperonymization
We present new methods for pruning and enhancing item- sets for text
classification via association rule mining. Pruning methods are based on
dependency syntax and enhancing methods are based on replacing words by their
hyperonyms of various orders. We discuss the impact of these methods, compared
to pruning based on tfidf rank of words.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figures, presented at DMNLP 201

An architecture for the automated detection of textual indicators of reflection
Manual annotation of evidence of reflection expressed in texts is time consuming, especially as fine-grained models of reflection require extensive training of coders, otherwise resulting in low inter-coder reliability. Automated reflection detection provides a solution to this problem. Within this paper, a new basic architecture for detecting evidence of reflection is proposed that allows for automated marking up of written accounts of certain, observable elements of reflection. Furthermore, three promising example annotators of elements of reflection are identified, implemented, and demonstrated: detecting reflective keywords, premise and conclusions of arguments, and questions. It appears that automated detection of reflections bears the potential to support learning with technology at least on three levels: it can foster creating awareness of the reflectivity of own writings, it can help in becoming aware of reflective writings of others, and it can make visible reflective writings of learning networks as a whole

Natural language processing
Beginning with the basic issues of NLP, this chapter aims to chart the major research activities in this area since the last ARIST Chapter in 1996 (Haas, 1996), including: (i) natural language text processing systems - text summarization, information extraction, information retrieval, etc., including domain-specific applications; (ii) natural language interfaces; (iii) NLP in the context of www and digital libraries ; and (iv) evaluation of NLP systems
