Weakly supervised construction of a repository of iconic images
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a first attempt at semi-automatically harvesting a dataset of iconic images, namely images that depict objects or scenes, which arouse associations to abstract topics. Our method starts with representative topic-evoking images from Wikipedia, which are labeled with relevant concepts and entities found in their associated captions. These are used to query an online image repository (i.e., Flickr), in order to further acquire additional examples of topic-specific iconic relations. To this end, we leverage a combination of visual similarity measures, image clustering and matching algorithms to acquire clusters of iconic images that are topically connected to the original seed images, while also allowing for various degrees of diversity. Our first results are promising in that they indicate the feasibility of the task and that we are able to build a first version of our resource with minimal supervision.

Automatically Building a Repository to Support Evidence Based Practice
Our long-term goal is to find, store, update, and provide access to key facts needed to support clinical decision making. Presently, the facts are extracted automatically from clinical narrative and biomedical literature sources, primarily MEDLINE, and stored in the Repository for Informed Decision Making. We envision expert community validation of the extracted facts and peer-reviewed direct d...
متن کاملSemantic Graph Construction for Weakly-Supervised Image Parsing
We investigate weakly-supervised image parsing, i.e., assigning class labels to image regions by using imagelevel labels only. Existing studies pay main attention to the formulation of the weakly-supervised learning problem, i.e., how to propagate class labels from images to regions given an affinity graph of regions. Notably, however, the affinity graph of regions, which is generally construct...
متن کاملMulti-Evidence Filtering and Fusion for Multi-Label Classification, Object Detection and Semantic Segmentation Based on Weakly Supervised Learning
Supervised object detection and semantic segmentation require object or even pixel level annotations. When there exist image level labels only, it is challenging for weakly supervised algorithms to achieve accurate predictions. The accuracy achieved by top weakly supervised algorithms is still significantly lower than their fully supervised counterparts. In this paper, we propose a novel weakly...
متن کاملLearning object classes with generic knowledge
Learning a new object class from cluttered training images is very challenging when the location of object instances is unknown, i.e. in a weakly supervised setting. Many previous works require objects covering a large portion of the images. We present a novel approach that can cope with extensive clutter as well as large scale and appearance variations between object instances. To make this po...
متن کاملSemantic-enriched visual vocabulary construction in a weakly supervised context
One of the prevalent learning tasks involving images is content-based image classification. This is a difficult task especially because the low-level features used to digitally describe images usually capture little information about the semantics of the images. In this paper, we tackle this difficulty by enriching the semantic content of the image representation by using external knowledge. Th...
