This study applies Cheong and Lee’s “context-aware” content analysis framework to extract latent properties from Twitter messages (tweets). In addition, we incorporate an unsupervised Self-organizing Feature Map (SOM) as a machine learning-based clustering tool that has not been investigated in the context of opinion mining and sentimental analysis using microblogging. Our experimental results reveal the detection of interesting patterns for topics of interest which are latent and cannot be easily detected from the observed tweets without the aid of machine learning tools.","PeriodicalId":309591,"journal":{"name":"2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125101124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first step interest points are detected and feature descriptors around them are calculated. Sets of known points are created, allowing tracking based on point matching. The set representation is updated online at every tracking step. Our method uses one-shot learning with the first frame, so no offline and no supervised learning is required. Following an object recognition based approach there is no need for a background model or motion model, allowing tracking of abrupt motion and with non-stationary cameras. We compare our method to Mean Shift and Tracking via Online Boosting, showing the benefits of our approach.","PeriodicalId":309591,"journal":{"name":"2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123283083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the intended objects are essential to present what the camcorder user wants to express in the video, discriminating the intended objects from the unintended objects are beneficial for many applications, e.g., video summarization, privacy protection, and so forth. In this paper, focusing on human objects, we propose a method for discriminating the intended human objects from the unintended human objects. We evaluated the proposed method using 10 videos captured by 3 camcorder users. The results demonstrate that the proposed method successfully discriminates the intended human objects with 0.45 of recall and 0.80 of precision.","PeriodicalId":309591,"journal":{"name":"2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125304128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various normalization strategies were tried out. The fusion algorithms are evaluated using the best four visual and textual runs of the ImageCLEF medical image retrieval task 2008 and 2009. The results show that fused runs outperform the best original runs and multi-modality fusion statistically outperforms single modality fusion. The logarithmic rank penalization shows to be the most stable normalization. The dark horse effect is in competition with the chorus effect and each of them can produce best fusion performance depending on the nature of the input data.","PeriodicalId":309591,"journal":{"name":"2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125431160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A defect embedded in a low-contrast surface image is extremely difficult to detect because the intensity difference between unevenly-illuminated background and defective regions are hardly observable. The proposed anisotropic diffusion model provides a generalized diffusion mechanism that can flexibly change the curve of the diffusion coefficient function. It adaptively carries out a smoothing process for faultless areas and performs a sharpening process for defect areas in an image. An entropy criterion is proposed as the performance measure of the diffused image and then a stochastic evolutionary computation algorithm, particle swarm optimization (PSO), is applied to automatically determine the best parameter values of the generalized diffusion coefficient function. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method can effectively and efficiently detect small defects in low-contrast surface images.","PeriodicalId":309591,"journal":{"name":"2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115206778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then we reorganize the structure of the logo detection and recognition procedures and integrate them into a unified framework. By applying feedback and selecting proper features, we make our framework dynamic and interactive.

These problems can occur with a wide range of binning kNN algorithms such as k-D trees and our variant, hashed k-D trees. The principal method we discuss automatically rebalances training data and estimates concentration in each K-d hash bin separately, which then controls how many samples should be kept in each bin. We report an experiment on 86.7M training samples which shows a 7-times speedup and higher minimum per-class recall, compared to previously reported methods. The context of these experiments is the need for image classifiers able to handle an unbounded variety of inputs: in our case, highly versatile document classifiers which require training sets as large as a billion training samples.","PeriodicalId":309591,"journal":{"name":"2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"416 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115592501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
