Combining Multi-modal Features for Social Media Analysis

In this chapter we discuss methods for efficiently modeling the diverse information carried by social media. The problem is viewed as a multi-modal analysis process where specialized techniques are used to overcome the obstacles arising from the heterogeneity of data. Focusing at the optimal combination of low-level features (i.e., early fusion), we present a bio-inspired algorithm for feature ...

Task Parametrization through Multi-modal Analysis of Robot Experiences

With quickly progressing and increasingly complex robot control and reasoning systems, a large gap of practical real-world knowledge for robots needs to be filled. While two prominent directions exist, namely designing all knowledge manually, or completely bootstrapping it, we emphasize the combination of both: Starting with simple heuristics, we let robots explore a task, record memories, inte...

Link Prediction in Multi-modal Social Networks

Online social networks like Facebook recommend new friends to users based on an explicit social network that users build by adding each other as friends. The majority of earlier work in link prediction infers new interactions between users by mainly focusing on a single network type. However, users also form several implicit social networks through their daily interactions like commenting on pe...
