Stating the Obvious: Extracting Visual Common Sense Knowledge

Obtaining common sense knowledge using current information extraction techniques is extremely challenging. In this work, we instead propose to derive simple common sense statements from fully annotated object detection corpora such as the Microsoft Common Objects in Context dataset. We show that many thousands of common sense facts can be extracted from such corpora at high quality. Furthermore...

The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis is important because it confers a poorer prognosis, with an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudde...
