Object Pooling For Multimedia Event Detection And Evidence Localization, Ho Zhang, Chong-Wah Ngo, Chong-Wah Ngo Jan 2016

Object Pooling For Multimedia Event Detection And Evidence Localization, Ho Zhang, Chong-Wah Ngo, Chong-Wah Ngo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Multimedia event detection (MED) and evidence hunting are two primary topics in the area of multimedia event search. The former serves to retrieve a list of relevant videos given an event query, whereas, the latter reasons why and how much the degree a retrieved video answers that query. Common practices deal with these two topics in separate methods, however, in this paper, we combine MED and evidence hunting into a joint framework. We propose a refined semantical representation named object pooling which can dynamically extract visual snippets corresponding to the location of when and where evidences might appear. The main …


Ambiguityvis: Visualization Of Ambiguity In Graph Layouts, Yong Wang, Qiaomu Shen, Zhiguang Zhou, Min Zhu, Sixiao Yang, Qu Huamin Jan 2016

Ambiguityvis: Visualization Of Ambiguity In Graph Layouts, Yong Wang, Qiaomu Shen, Zhiguang Zhou, Min Zhu, Sixiao Yang, Qu Huamin

Node-link diagrams provide an intuitive way to explore networks and have inspired a large number of automated graph layout strategies that optimize aesthetic criteria. However, any particular drawing approach cannot fully satisfy all these criteria simultaneously, producing drawings with visual ambiguities that can impede the understanding of network structure. To bring attention to these potentially problematic areas present in the drawing. this paper presents a technique that highlights common types of visual ambiguities: ambiguous spatial relationships between nodes and edges, visual overlap between community structures, and ambiguity in edge bundling and metanodes. Metrics, including newly proposed metrics for abnormal edge …


Factororacle: An Extensible Max External For Investigating Applications Of The Factor Oracle Automaton In Real-Time Music Improvisation, Adam James Wilson Jan 2016

Factororacle: An Extensible Max External For Investigating Applications Of The Factor Oracle Automaton In Real-Time Music Improvisation, Adam James Wilson

Publications and Research

There are several extant software systems designed to generate music in real-time using a factor oracle automaton constructed from the musical input of a human improvisor. The impetus for the design of the factorOracle external is neither a desire to supersede these systems nor introduce novel algorithms for traversing the oracle, but rather to provide a fast, canonical interface for the automaton in Cycling74’s Max and, in future iterations, the Pure Data programming environment. Technical features of the factorOracle software are introduced here.


Results And Challenges In Visualizing Analytic Provenance Of Text Analysis Tasks Using Interaction Logs, Rhema Linder, Alyssa M. Peña, Sampath Jayarathna, Eric D. Ragan Jan 2016

Results And Challenges In Visualizing Analytic Provenance Of Text Analysis Tasks Using Interaction Logs, Rhema Linder, Alyssa M. Peña, Sampath Jayarathna, Eric D. Ragan

After data analysis, recalling and communicating the steps and rationale followed during the analysis can be difficult. This paper explores the use of interaction logs to generate summaries of an analyst's interest based on interactions with specific data items in a text analysis scenario. Our approach uses data-interaction events as a proxy for user interest in and experience of information. Logging can produce verbose logs that detail all available readable content, so the discussed approach uses topic modeling (LDA) over different time segments to summarize the verbose information and generate visualizations of the history of user interest. Our preliminary results …
