We present a robust speaker identification algorithm that uses novel features based on soft bag-of-word representation and a simple Naive Bayes classifier. The bag-of-words (BoW) based histogram feature descriptor is typically constructed by summarizing and identifying representative prototypes from low-level spectral features extracted from training data. In this paper, we define a generalization of the standard BoW. In particular, we define three types of BoW that are based on crisp voting, fuzzy memberships, and possibilistic memberships. We analyze our mapping with three common classifiers: Naive Bayes classifier (NB); K-nearest neighbor classifier (KNN); and support vector machines (SVM). The proposed algorithms are evaluated using large datasets that simulate medical crises. We show that the proposed soft bag-of-words feature representation approach achieves a significant improvement when compared to the state-of-art methods.

Nowadays, there are a lot of Korean documents, which often need to be identified in one of printed or handwritten text. Early methods for the identification use structural features, which can be simple and easy to apply to text of a specific font, but its performance depends on the font type and characteristics of the text. Recently, the bag-of-words model has been used for the identification, which can be invariant to changes in font size, distortions or modifications to the text. The method based on bag-of-words model includes three steps: word segmentation using connected component grouping, feature extraction, and finally classification using SVM(Support Vector Machine). In this paper, bag-of-words model based method is proposed using SURF(Speeded Up Robust Feature) for the identification of machine printed and handwritten text in Korean documents. The experiment shows that the proposed method outperforms methods based on structural features.

The proliferation of many interactive Topic Detection and Tracking (iTDT) systems has motivated researchers to design systems that can track and detect news better. iTDT focuses on user interaction, user evaluation, and user interfaces. Recently, increasing effort has been devoted to user interfaces to improve TDT systems by investigating not just the user interaction aspect but also user and task oriented evaluation. This study investigates the combination of the bag of words and named entities approaches implemented in the iTDT interface, called Interactive Event Tracking (iEvent), including what TDT tasks these approaches facilitate. iEvent is composed of three components, which are Cluster View (CV), Document View (DV), and Term View (TV). User experiments have been carried out amongst journalists to compare three settings of iEvent: Setup 1 and Setup 2 (baseline setups), and Setup 3 (experimental setup). Setup 1 used bag of words and Setup 2 used named entities, while Setup 3 used a combination of bag of words and named entities. Journalists were asked to perform TDT tasks: Tracking and Detection. Findings revealed that the combination of bag of words and named entities approaches generally facilitated the journalists to perform well in the TDT tasks. This study has confirmed that the combination approach in iTDT is useful and enhanced the effectiveness of users' performance in performing the TDT tasks. It gives suggestions on the features with their approaches which facilitated the journalists in performing the TDT tasks.

본 연구에서는 다양한 워드 임베딩 기법이 감성분석의 성과에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위한 비교연구를 제안한다. 감성분석은 자연어 처리를 사용하여 텍스트 문서에서 주관적인 정보를 식별하고 추출하는 오피니언 마이닝 기법 중 하나이며, 상품평이나 댓글의 감성을 분류하는데 사용될 수 있다. 감성은 긍정적이거나 부정적인 것으로 분류될 수 있기 때문에 일반적인 분류문제 중 하나로 생각할 수 있으며, 이의 분류를 위해서는 텍스트를 컴퓨터가 인식할 수 있는 언어로 변환하여야 한다. 따라서 단어나 문서와 같은 텍스트를 자연어 처리에서 벡터로 변형하여 진행하는데 이를 워드 임베딩이라고 한다. 워드 임베딩 기법은 Bag of Words, TF-IDF, Word2Vec 등 다양한 기법이 사용되고 있는데 지금까지 감성분석에 적합한 워드 임베딩 기법에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 영화 리뷰의 감성분석을 위해 다양한 워드 임베딩 기법 중 Bag of Words, TF-IDF, Word2Vec을 사용하여 그 성과를 비교 분석한다. 분석에 사용할 연구용 데이터 셋은 텍스트 마이닝에서 많이 활용되고 있는 IMDB 데이터 셋을 사용하였다. 분석 결과, TF-IDF와 Bag of Words의 성과가 Word2Vec보다 우수한 것으로 나타났으며 TF-IDF는 Bag of Words보다 성과가 우수하였으나 그 차이가 매우 크지는 않았다.

The problem of visual words' synonymy and ambiguity always exist in the conventional bag of visual words (BoVW) model based object category methods. Besides, the noisy visual words, so-called "visual stop-words" will degrade the semantic resolution of visual dictionary. In view of this, a novel bag of visual words method based on PLSA and chi-square model for object category is proposed. Firstly, Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (PLSA) is used to analyze the semantic co-occurrence probability of visual words, infer the latent semantic topics in images, and get the latent topic distributions induced by the words. Secondly, the KL divergence is adopt to measure the semantic distance between visual words, which can get semantically related homoionym. Then, adaptive soft-assignment strategy is combined to realize the soft mapping between SIFT features and some homoionym. Finally, the chi-square model is introduced to eliminate the "visual stop-words" and reconstruct the visual vocabulary histograms. Moreover, SVM (Support Vector Machine) is applied to accomplish object classification. Experimental results indicated that the synonymy and ambiguity problems of visual words can be overcome effectively. The distinguish ability of visual semantic resolution as well as the object classification performance are substantially boosted compared with the traditional methods.

Nowadays, portable digital cameras such as smart phone cameras are being popularly used for entertainment and visual information recording. Given a database of geo-tagged images, a visual location recognition system can determine the place depicted in a query photo. One of the most common visual location recognition approaches is the bag-of-words method where local image features are clustered into visual words. In this paper, we propose a new bag-of-words-based visual location recognition algorithm using time-series streetview database. The proposed algorithm selects only a small subset of image features which will be used in image retrieval process. By reducing the number of features to be used, the proposed algorithm can reduce the memory requirement of the image database and accelerate the retrieval process.

이미지를 분류하고 검색하는 기술(Image retrieval)중 하나인 Bag of visual words(BoVW)는 특징점(feature point)을 이용하는 방법으로 데이터베이스의 이미지 특징벡터들의 분포를 통해 쿼리 이미지를 자동으로 분류하고 검색해주는 시스템이다. Words를 구성하는데 특징벡터만을 이용하는 기존의 방법은 이용자가 원하지 않는 이미지를 검색하거나 분류할 수 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 특징벡터뿐만 아니라 이미지의 전체적인 분위기를 표현할 수 있는 색상정보나 반복되는 패턴 정보를 표현할 수 있는 텍스처 정보를 Words를 구성하는데 포함시킴으로서 다양한 검색을 가능하게 한다. 실험 부분에서는 특징정보만을 가진 words를 이용해 이미지를 분류한 결과와 색상정보와 텍스처 정보가 추가된 words를 가지고 이미지를 분류한 결과를 비교하였고 새로운 방법은 80~90%의 정확도를 나타내었다.

In the development of commercial promotion, chatbot is known as one of significant skill by application of natural language processing (NLP). Conventional design methods are using bag-of-words model (BOW) alone based on Google database and other online corpus. For one thing, in the bag-of-words model, the vectors are Irrelevant to one another. Even though this method is friendly to discrete features, it is not conducive to the machine to understand continuous statements due to the loss of the connection between words in the encoded word vector. For other thing, existing methods are used to test in state-of-the-art online corpus but it is hard to apply in real applications such as telemarketing data. In this paper, we propose an improved chatbot design way using hybrid bag-of-words model and skip-gram model based on the real telemarketing data. Specifically, we first collect the real data in the telemarketing field and perform data cleaning and data classification on the constructed corpus. Second, the word representation is adopted hybrid bag-of-words model and skip-gram model. The skip-gram model maps synonyms in the vicinity of vector space. The correlation between words is expressed, so the amount of information contained in the word vector is increased, making up for the shortcomings caused by using bag-of-words model alone. Third, we use the term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) weighting method to improve the weight of key words, then output the final word expression. At last, the answer is produced using hybrid retrieval model and generate model. The retrieval model can accurately answer questions in the field. The generate model can supplement the question of answering the open domain, in which the answer to the final reply is completed by long-short term memory (LSTM) training and prediction. Experimental results show which the hybrid word vector expression model can improve the accuracy of the response and the whole system can communicate with humans.

음향 상황 인지(acoustic context awareness)는 다양하게 발생되는 음원들로부터 어떠한 장소인지 또는 어떠한 사건이 발생하는지를 판단하는 기술로 음향 이벤트 검출 또는 인식 보다 한 단계 더 복잡한 문제이다. 기존의 상황인지 기술은 음향 이벤트 검출 또는 인식 기술에 기반하여 현재 상황을 인지하는 방법을 사용하고 있다. 하지만 이와 같은 접근 방법은 여러 음원이 동시에 발생하거나 유사한 음원이 발생하는 실제 환경에서 정확한 상황 판단이 어렵다. 특히 버스와 지하철은 승객들에 의한 잡음으로 상황을 인지하기 힘들다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 본 논문에서는 유사한 음향 이벤트가 발생하는 버스와 지하철 상황을 인식할 수 있는 Bag of Words 기반의 상황 인지 알고리즘을 연구하고 코드북 생성을 위한 특징벡터를 제안한다. 제안하는 특징벡터의 효용성은 Support Vector Machine을 이용한 실험을 통해 검증했다.
