Text as a Richer Source of Supervision in Semantic Segmentation Tasks

Devis Tuia, Valérie Zermatten, Lloyd Haydn Hughes, Javiera Francisca Castillo Navarro

This paper introduces TACOSS a text-image alignment approach that allows explainable land cover semantic segmentation by directly integrating semantic concepts encoded from texts. TACOSS combines convolutional neural networks for visual feature extraction ...

Kinesthetic motor-imagery training improves performance on lexical-semantic access

Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Camille Bonnet

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Motor Imagery (MI) training on language comprehension. In line with literature suggesting an intimate relationship between the language and the motor system, we proposed that a MI-training could imp ...

Temporal Representation Learning on Monocular Videos for 3D Human Pose Estimation

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Victor Constantin, Sina Honari

In this paper we propose an unsupervised feature extraction method to capture temporal information on monocular videos, where we detect and encode subject of interest in each frame and leverage contrastive self-supervised (CSS) learning to extract rich lat ...

Further results on latent discourse models and word embeddings

Youssef Allouah

We discuss some properties of generative models for word embeddings. Namely, (Arora et al., 2016) proposed a latent discourse model implying the concentration of the partition function of the word vectors. This concentration phenomenon led to an asymptotic ...

Text Similarity in Vector Space Models: A Comparative Study

Kenneth Younge, Omid Shahmirzadi, Adam Lugowski

Automatic measurement of semantic text similarity is an important task in natural language processing. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of different vector space models to perform this task. We address the real-world problem of modeling patent-to ...

Learning Explainable User Sentiment and Preferences for Information Filtering

Nikolaos Pappas

In the last decade, online social networks have enabled people to interact in many ways with each other and with content. The digital traces of such actions reveal people's preferences towards online content such as news or products. These traces often res ...

Cross-lingual Linking of Multi-word Entities and their corresponding Acronyms

Maud Ehrmann

This paper reports on an approach and experiments to automatically build a cross-lingual multi-word entity resource. Starting from a collection of millions of acronym/expansion pairs for 22 languages where expansion variants were grouped into monolingual c ...

Computing text semantic relatedness using the contents and links of a hypertext encyclopedia

Majid Yazdani, Andrei Popescu-Belis

We propose a method for computing semantic relatedness between words or texts by using knowledge from hypertext encyclopedias such as Wikipedia. A network of concepts is built by filtering the encyclopedia's articles, each concept corresponding to an artic ...

Motion constraint

Ronan Boulic, Daniel Raunhardt

In this paper, we propose a hybrid postural control approach taking advantage of data-driven and goal-oriented methods while overcoming their limitations. In particular, we take advantage of the latent space characterizing a given motion database. We intro ...

Constraint Solving for Software Reliability and Text Analysis

Viktor Kuncak

We will develop and implement new algorithms for constraint solving and apply them to construct two classes of tools: 1) bug finding and verification tools building on tools such as Java PathFinder and Jahob; 2) tools for deep semantic analysis of texts co ...

Dictionary Learning Based Dimensionality Reduction for Classification

Pierre Vandergheynst, Karin Schnass

In this article we present a signal model for classification based on a low dimensional dictionary embedded into the high dimensional signal space. We develop an alternate projection algorithm to find the embedding and the dictionary and finally test the c ...

Concept expansion using semantic fisheye views

Pearl Pu Faltings, Vincent Jean Fabrice Schickel, Frank Paul Janecek

Exploratory search over a collection often requires users to iteratively apply a variety of strategies, such as searching for more general or more specific concepts in reaction to the information they encounter. Rich semantic models, such as WordNet, are p ...

Intégration de connaissances syntaxiques et sémantiques dans les représentations vectorielles de textes : [application au calcul de similarités sémantiques dans le cadre du modèle DSIR]

Romaric Besançon

The notion of similarity between texts is fundamental for many applications of Natural Language Processing. For example, this notion is particularly useful for the applications designed for the management of information in large textual databases, such as ...
