Abstract We generate natural language explanations for a fine‐grained visual recognition task. Our fulfill two criteria. First, are class discriminative , meaning they mention attributes in an image which important to identify class. Second, relevant reflect the actual content of image. system, composed explanation sampler and phrase‐critic model, generates explanations. In addition, we demonst...

Critiques of the objectification female characters in comics have often focused upon depictions within superhero genre (cf. Avery-Natale 2013; Cocca 2014; Nelson 2015). Such arguments adopt framework Laura Mulvey's ‘Male Gaze’ (1975) to assess costuming, physical physique, and narrative role given such characters. In one comment on similar controversies, Neil Cohn (2014) has argued for a greate...

We have developed the Hand Motion Understanding (HMU) system that understands static and dynamic signs of the Australian Sign Language (Auslan). The HMU system uses a visual 3D hand tracker for motion sensing, and an adaptive fuzzy expert system for classification of the signs. This paper presents the hand tracker that extracts 3D hand configuration data with 21 degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) from a...

This paper introduces a visual language for active database systems. We present a new approach to database programming based on visual active language that allows us to describe active rules in a graphical way. The resulting visual language can be transformed into a textual one. In addition, an active system can be represented with several di erent graphs showing the interactions of rules and t...

Sonnet was designed as a visual language for implementing real-time processes. Early design and development of behavioral components has largely focused on the domain of music programming. However, Sonnet’s architecture is well suited to expressing many kinds of real-time activities. In particular, Sonnet is easily extended with new kinds of data types and behavioral components. We have develop...
