This paper presents a novel approach based on geodesic distance for sentence similarity computation, which can be used in a query-based information retrieval system. Unlike the traditional distance methods, geodesic distance takes into account the spatial relationships of sentences, which better reflects the intrinsic geometric structure of sentence manifold. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method shows a better correlation to human intuition compared with traditional Euclidean method.

Commonsense knowledge plays an important role in various areas such as natural language understanding, information retrieval, etc. This paper presents a method for acquiring commonsense knowledge about properties of concepts by analyzing how adjectives are used with nouns in everyday language. We firstly mine a large scale corpus for potential concept-property pairs using lexico-syntactic patterns and then filter erroneously acquired ones based on heuristic rules and statistical approaches. For each concept, we automatically select the commonsensical properties and evaluate their applicability. Finally, we generate commonsense knowledge represented with explicit fuzzy quantifiers. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

Spatial relation of local image patches plays an important role in object-based image retrieval. An approach called spatial frequent items is proposed as an extension of Bag-of-Words method by introducing spatial relations between patches. Spatial frequent items are defined as frequent pairs of adjacent local image patches in polar coordinates, and exploited using data mining. Based on these frequent configurations, we develop a method to encode patches and their spatial relations for image indexing and retrieval. Besides, to avoid the interference of background patches, informative patches are filtrated based on their local entropy and self-similarity in the preprocess stage. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can be 8.6% more effective than the state-of-art object retrieval methods.

An important problem in text mining is the automatic extraction of semantic relations. The paper provides a domain independent method for automatic extraction of part-whole relations in Chinese corpusa. The method consists of there phases. First, a set of lexico-syntactical patterns for part-whole relations are designed using known pairs of concepts encoding part-whole relations as seeds, and manually filtering the extracted sentences. Second, Pairs of concepts are extracted using the patterns from a training corpus, which may reflect part-whole relations. Finally, the extracted pairs of concepts are further confirmed using a set of heuristic rules generated based on an analysis of Chinese syntactical and semantic features. Based on a test corpus, the method achieves satisfactory results.

Video copy detection is essentially a problem of large scale pattern matching. Various copy attacks which change the visual appearance impose hazard on this task. Based on the spatio-temporal consistency, our algorithm aims to utilize the invariant pattern of visual information for video matching. Position correlation of trajectory feature points is calculated as the signature for fast detection. Experiments using benchmarked dataset and commonly happened copy attacks verify the robustness and efficiency of our algorithm.

A novel statistical framework for replay detection is presented in this paper. Unlike current methods, the proposed framework exploits both inherent characters and transition relations of replay and non-replay scenes based on annotation of the video, which realizes segments and classifies video stream into replay and non-replay shots simultaneously. After annotation, the detected replay segment is further verified and its boundaries are adjusted to get more accurate replay segment considering probability distribution of lengths of replay and non-replay shots. Experimental results on soccer video are promising, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed framework.

Aiming at the characters of possibilistic partition and ICA (independent component analysis), a new algorithm by using PCV (Possibilistic C-Varieties) to preprocess and partition the data simultaneously is given in this paper. In addition, the recognition rate is improved by fuzzy integral, which fuses the features of multi-information-sources to achieve the optimal match between personal expectation and impersonal evidence. The computer simulation illustrates the effectivity of this method on the ORL database.

Dynamic description logic (DDL) is among the few emerging service composition solutions through logical reasoning. To overcome low efficiency and lacking context-aware support of DDL reasoning, we propose a new DDL-based service composition model, which supports context-based service pre-filtering over DDL reasoning space. The pre-filtering runs under the BPEL workflow and a distributed reasoning algorithm need to reasoning different contexts after pre-filtering.

In this paper, by considering the multiple spatial-temporal characteristic of visual perception system, we propose a novel home video attention analysis method. Firstly, each frame of the video is segmented into regions which are more informative than pixels and image blocks. Then the saliency of each region is analyzed by combining static, motion and location attentions. Finally a region based saliency map is generated for each frame, and an attention score curve is obtained for the video clip by combining attention scores of all regions in each frame. Both of them can be utilized in wide applications. This method takes advantage of the properties of human visual perception and can well present the attention information of home videos. Experimental results show the effectiveness of this approach.
