This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micro-videos, a new form of user-generated content, have been spreading widely across various social platforms, such as Vine, Kuaishou, and TikTok. Different from traditional long videos, micro-videos are usually recorded by smart mobile devices at any place within a few seconds. Due to their brevity and low bandwidth cost, micro-videos are gaining increasing user enthusiasm. The blossoming of micro-videos opens the door to the possibility of many promising applications, ranging from network content caching to online advertising. Thus, it is highly desirable to develop an effective scheme for high-order micro-video understanding. Micro-video understanding is, however, non-trivial due to the following challenges: (1) how to represent micro-videos that only convey one or few high-level themes or concepts; (2) how to utilize the hierarchical structure of venue categories to guide micro-video analysis; (3) how to alleviate the influence of low quality caused by complex surrounding environments and camera shake; (4) how to model multimodal sequential data, i.e. textual, acoustic, visual, and social modalities to enhance micro-video understanding; and (5) how to construct large-scale benchmark datasets for analysis. These challenges have been largely unexplored to date. In this book, we focus on addressing the challenges presented above by proposing some state-of-the-art multimodal learning theories. To demonstrate the effectiveness of these models, we apply them to three practical tasks of micro-video understanding: popularity prediction, venue category estimation, and micro-video routing. Particularly, we first build three large-scale real-world micro-video datasets for these practical tasks. We then present a multimodal transductive learning framework for micro-video popularity prediction. Furthermore, we introduce several multimodal cooperative learning approaches and a multimodal transfer learning scheme for micro-video venue category estimation. Meanwhile, we develop a multimodal sequential learning approach for micro-video recommendation. Finally, we conclude the book and figure out the future research directions in multimodal learning toward micro-video understanding.

Download or read book Graph Learning for Fashion Compatibility Modeling written by Weili Guan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-02 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds light on state-of-the-art theories for more challenging outfit compatibility modeling scenarios. In particular, this book presents several cutting-edge graph learning techniques that can be used for outfit compatibility modeling. Due to its remarkable economic value, fashion compatibility modeling has gained increasing research attention in recent years. Although great efforts have been dedicated to this research area, previous studies mainly focused on fashion compatibility modeling for outfits that only involved two items and overlooked the fact that each outfit may be composed of a variable number of items. This book develops a series of graph-learning based outfit compatibility modeling schemes, all of which have been proven to be effective over several public real-world datasets. This systematic approach benefits readers by introducing the techniques for compatibility modeling of outfits that involve a variable number of composing items. To deal with the challenging task of outfit compatibility modeling, this book provides comprehensive solutions, including correlation-oriented graph learning, modality-oriented graph learning, unsupervised disentangled graph learning, partially supervised disentangled graph learning, and metapath-guided heterogeneous graph learning. Moreover, this book sheds light on research frontiers that can inspire future research directions for scientists and researchers.

Download or read book Multimodal Learning with Minimal Human Supervision from Videos and Natural Language written by Fanyi Xiao and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans perceive and interact with the surrounding world by processing information from many different sensory modalities (e.g., visual inputs, auditory signals, self-motion, haptics, smell, taste and language, etc.). In this thesis, I believe it is promising to mimic humans to perform multimodal learning with our AI agents, in order to enable human-level visual perception capability. Specifically, I will present algorithms that learn from multimodal data like videos and natural language for visual understanding. Meanwhile, as multimodal data offers abundant opportunities to serve as supervision for training visual models, I will also present algorithms that can learn with either weak supervision or no supervision at all from multimodal data. I believe these are the first steps towards a more general and capable visual perception system.

Download or read book Multimodal Literacies Across Digital Learning Contexts written by Maria Grazia Sindoni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection critically considers the question of how learning and teaching should be conceived, understood, and approached in light of the changing nature of learning scenarios and new pedagogies in this current age of multimodal digital texts, practices, and communities. The book takes the concept of digital artifacts as being composed of multiple meaning-making semiotic resources, such as visuals, music, and design, as its point of departure to explore how diverse communities interact with these tools and develop and explore their understanding of digital practices in learning contexts. The first section of the volume examines different case studies in which involved participants learn to grapple with the introduction of digital tools for learning in children’s early years of schooling. The second section extends the focus to secondary and higher education settings as digital learning tools grow more complex as do students, parents, and teachers’ interactions with them and the subsequent need for new pedagogies to rethink these multimodal artifacts. A final section reflects on the implications of new multimodal tools, technologies, and pedagogies for teachers, such as on teacher training and community building among educators. In its in-depth look at multimodal approaches to learning as meaning-making in a digital world, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in multimodality, English language teaching, digital communication, and education.

Abstract: Triggered by the rapid development of information technology, the global teaching and learning environment is facing a revolutionary change in terms of the modes of communication. Since the advent of the first schools, verbal presentation and written text have been the dominant modes of teaching. However, as information technology becomes increasingly integrated in education-with the development of social network communication acting as a catalyst-students are communicating beyond the text mode to incorporate other visual elements, experiencing 'multimodal communication'. New modes of communication between teachers and students are emerging to replace the once unique textual mode, both within and beyond school. Audio, pictures, symbols and gestures are widely used in the multimodal communication of meaning. Literacy, which is about ability in reading and writing, has gradually shifted towards the emerging multiliteracies. Given this growing use-supported by information technology-of multimodal communication among students, more research is needed to enhance our understanding of the learning processes involved. The objective of my thesis is to explore what and how students learn through multimodal meaning representation on community issues. The research focused in particular on 2007, a transitional year in the curriculum reform of Hong Kong's secondary schools. During this time, the global social communication network was well used by youth in a local context, and it was found that students were able to create video artefacts including multimodal meaning representation of issues beyond the subject disciplines included in the curriculum reform. This research involved a multiple-case study of six Grade 10 students creating multimodal meaning representation of community issues in 2007, in preparation for a new core subject, "Liberal Studies," prior to its implementation in the new Hong Kong senior secondary school curriculum in 2009. The Hong Kong Education Bureau introduced a new school-based assessment in the new curriculum, along with the written examination. It specified that each student must make an enquiry on community issues and submit an Independent Enquiry Study (IES) report, in either written or non-written mode such as a video artefact. By conducting participant observations of and in-depth interviews with the students and teachers involved, and applying multimodal analysis to the student video artefacts, the research found that students had learnt through multimodal meaning representation. The findings have helped to conceptualise a new learning framework beyond traditional literacy learning at school. The results have implications for further understanding of how students learn with multimodal meaning representation, and add value to the curriculum reform by incorporating innovative pedagogy in engaging student learning through creating video artefacts on community issues beyond the traditional subject-based curriculum. It is argued that traditional literacy might not be the only condition for the development of multiliteracies, and that the use of multimodal representation will facilitate the development of multiliteracies. Overall, students will learn about topics related to community issues by creating video artefacts with multimodal meaning representation to explain the issues, and at the same time they will d
Download or read book Learning from Multiple Social Networks written by Liqiang Nie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the proliferation of social network services, more and more social users, such as individuals and organizations, are simultaneously involved in multiple social networks for various purposes. In fact, multiple social networks characterize the same social users from different perspectives, and their contexts are usually consistent or complementary rather than independent. Hence, as compared to using information from a single social network, appropriate aggregation of multiple social networks offers us a better way to comprehensively understand the given social users. Learning across multiple social networks brings opportunities to new services and applications as well as new insights on user online behaviors, yet it raises tough challenges: (1) How can we map different social network accounts to the same social users? (2) How can we complete the item-wise and block-wise missing data? (3) How can we leverage the relatedness among sources to strengthen the learning performance? And (4) How can we jointly model the dual-heterogeneities: multiple tasks exist for the given application and each task has various features from multiple sources? These questions have been largely unexplored to date. We noticed this timely opportunity, and in this book we present some state-of-the-art theories and novel practical applications on aggregation of multiple social networks. In particular, we first introduce multi-source dataset construction. We then introduce how to effectively and efficiently complete the item-wise and block-wise missing data, which are caused by the inactive social users in some social networks. We next detail the proposed multi-source mono-task learning model and its application in volunteerism tendency prediction. As a counterpart, we also present a mono-source multi-task learning model and apply it to user interest inference. We seamlessly unify these models with the so-called multi-source multi-task learning, and demonstrate several application scenarios, such as occupation prediction. Finally, we conclude the book and figure out the future research directions in multiple social network learning, including the privacy issues and source complementarity modeling. This is preliminary research on learning from multiple social networks, and we hope it can inspire more active researchers to work on this exciting area. If we have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
