Selecting and Categorizing Textual Descriptions of Images in the Context of an Image Indexer's Toolkit

We describe a series of studies aimed at identifying specifications for a text extraction module of an image indexer's toolkit. The materials used in the studies consist of images paired with paragraph sequences that describe the images. We administered a pilot survey to visual resource center professionals at three universities to determine what types of paragraphs would be preferred for metadata selection. Respondents generally showed a strong preference for one of two paragraphs they were presented with, indicating that not all paragraphs that describe images are seen as good sources of metadata. We developed a set of semantic category labels to assign to spans of text in order to distinguish between different types of information about the images, thus to classify metadata contexts. Human agreement on metadata is notoriously variable. In order to maximize agreement, we conducted four human labeling experiments using the seven semantic category labels we developed. A subset of our labelers had much higher inter-annotator reliability, and highest reliability occurs when labelers can pick two labels per text unit

Computational linguistics for metadata building: Aggregating text processing technologies for enhanced image access

We present a system which applies text mining using computational linguistic techniques to automatically extract, categorize, disambiguate and filter metadata for image access. Candidate subject terms are identified through standard approaches; novel semantic categorization using machine learning and disambiguation using both WordNet and a domain specific thesaurus are applied. The resulting metadata can be manually edited by image catalogers or filtered by semi-automatic rules. We describe the implementation of this workbench created for, and evaluated by, image catalogers. We discuss the system\u27s current functionality, developed under the Computational Linguistics for Metadata Building (CLiMB) research project. The CLiMB Toolkit has been tested with several collections, including: Art Images for College Teaching (AICT), ARTStor, the National Gallery of Art (NGA), the Senate Museum, and from collaborative projects such as the Landscape Architecture Image Resource (LAIR) and the field guides of the Vernacular Architecture Group (VAG)

Ahogando a los descontentos: Teoría Crítica y pseudo-conservadurismo hoy

Theodor Adorno's work on radio often focused on the authoritarian effects of the medium. Nearly sixty-five years later, these writings have proven particularly vital to understanding the rise of the American Tea Party Movement. This prescience, coupled with the Tea Party's own "discovery" of Adorno and the "evils" of critical theory demonstrate the ongoing necessity of the Frankfurt School's project.Los trabajos de Theodor W. Adorno sobre la radio se centraron a menudo en los efectos autoritarios de dicho medio. Casi sesenta y cinco años después, estos escritos se han revelado particularmente vitales para la comprensión de la ascensión del movimiento americano del Tea Party. Esta anticipación, junto con el descubrimiento de Adorno y de las �lacras� de la teoría crítica por parte del Tea Party, revelan la persistente necesidad del proyecto de la Escuela de Frankfurt
