Approximating geometric crossover in semantic space

Pawel Lichocki

We propose a crossover operator that works with genetic programming trees and is approximately geometric crossover in the semantic space. By defining semantic as program's evaluation profile with respect to a set of fitness cases and constraining to a spec ...

Perceptual and semantic contributions to repetition priming of environmental sounds

Roberto Martuzzi, Stephanie Clarke

Repetition of environmental sounds, like their visual counterparts, can facilitate behavior and modulate neural responses, exemplifying plasticity in how auditory objects are represented or accessed. It remains controversial whether such repetition priming ...

Semantics for virtual humans

Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

Population of Virtual Worlds with Virtual Humans is increasing rapidly by people who want to create a virtual life parallel to the real one (i.e. Second Life). The evolution of technology is smoothly providing the necessary elements to increase realism wit ...

Understanding the Web

Eda Baykan

The World Wide Web is one of the most widely used information resources. Understanding the web better will enable us to benefit more of it. In this thesis we develop techniques to learn the properties of the web pages like language and topic using only the ...

Context aware, multimodal, and semantic rendering engine

Daniel Thalmann, Patrick Salamin

Nowadays, several techniques exist to render digital content such as graphics, audio, haptic, etc. Unfortunately, they require different faculties that cannot always be applied, e.g. providing a picture to a blind person would be useless. In this paper, we ...

A Comparison of Techniques for Sampling Web Pages

Monika Henzinger, Eda Baykan

As the World Wide Web is growing rapidly, it is getting increasingly challenging to gather representative information about it. Instead of crawling the web exhaustively one has to resort to other techniques like sampling to determine the properties of the ...

Conceptual modeling of multimedia databases

Oleksandr Drutskyy

The gap between the semantic content of multimedia data and its underlying physical representation is one of the main problems in the modern multimedia research in general, and, in particular, in the field of multimedia database modeling. We believe that o ...

The 3A Contextual Ranking System: Simultaneously Recommending Actors, Assets, and Group Activities

Denis Gillet, Christophe Salzmann, Stéphane Sire

In this paper, we propose a personalized and contextual ranking algorithm implemented on top of the 3A interaction model. The latter is a generic model intended for designing and describing social and collaborative learning platforms integrating Actors, As ...

Purely URL-based Topic Classification

Monika Henzinger, Ingmar Weber, Eda Baykan, Ludmila Marian

Given only the URL of a web page, can we identify its topic? This is the question that we examine in this paper. Usually, web pages are classified using their content, but a URL-only classifier is preferable, (i) when speed is crucial, (ii) to enable conte ...

Contextual classification of image patches with latent aspect models

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Florent Monay Michaud, Pedro Manuel Da Silva Quelhas

We present a novel approach for contextual classification of image patches in complex visual scenes, based on the use of histograms of quantized features and probabilistic aspect models. Our approach uses context in two ways: (1) by using the fact that spe ...
