Background

This paper presents a new method for 3D shape retrieval based on the bags-of-words model along with a weak spatial constraint. First, a two-pass sampling procedure is performed to extract the local shape descriptors, based on spin images, which are used to construct a shape dictionary. Second, the model is partitioned into different regions based on the positions of the words. Then each region ...

Image search systems based on local descriptors typically achieve orientation invariance by aligning the patches on their dominant orientations. Albeit successful, this choice introduces too much invariance because it does not guarantee that the patches are rotated consistently. This paper introduces an aggregation strategy of local descriptors that achieves this covariance property by jointly ...

The 2017 Microblog Cultural Contextualization task consists in three challenges: (1) Content Analysis, (2) Microblog search, and (3) TimeLine illustration. This paper describes the use of cosine similarity, which is characterized by the comparison of similarity between two vectors of an inner product space. This research used two approaches: (1) word2vec and (2) Bag-of-Words (BoW) for extractin...

In this paper, we present a novel model for improving the performance of Domain Dictionary-based text categorization. The proposed model is named as Self-Partition Model(SPM). SPM can group the candidate words into the predefined clusters, which are generated according to the structure of Domain Dictionary. Using these learned clusters as features, we proposed a novel text representation. The e...

The original bag-of-words (BoW) model in terms of image classification treats each local feature independently, and thus ignores the spatial relationships between a feature and its neighboring features, namely, the feature’s context. However, our intuition and empirical studies tell the importance of such spatial information. Although the global spatial information can be captured with the spat...

Bag-of-words (BOW) is now the most popular way to model text in machine learning based sentiment classification. However, the performance of such approach sometimes remains rather limited due to some fundamental deficiencies of the BOW model. In this paper, we focus on the polarity shift problem, and propose a novel approach, called dual training and dual prediction (DTDP), to address it. The b...

Sentiment analysis generally uses large feature sets based on a bag-of-words approach, which results in a situation where individual features are not very informative. In addition, many data sets tend to be heavily skewed. We approach this combination of challenges by investigating feature selection in order to reduce the large number of features to those that are discriminative. We examine the...
