چکیده

In recent years stochastic context-free grammars have been shown to be effective in modeling human activities because of the hierarchical structures they represent. However, most of the research in this area has yet to address the issue of learning the activity grammars from a noisy input source, namely, video. In this paper, we present a framework for identifying noise and recovering the basic activity grammar from a noisy symbol string produced by video. We identify the noise symbols by finding the set of non-noise symbols that optimally compresses the training data, where the optimality of compression is measured using an MDL criterion. We show the robustness of our system to noise and its effectiveness in learning the basic structure of human activity, through experiments with artificial data and a real video sequence from a local convenience store.

Learning the Grammar of Human Activity from Video

Stochastic Context-Free Grammars (SCFG) have been shown to be useful for applications beyond natural language analysis, specifically vision-based human activity analysis. Vision-based symbol strings differ from natural language strings, in that a string of symbols produced by video often times contains noise symbols, making grammatical inference very difficult. In order to obtain reliable resul...

Explaining the Level of Human Thought in the Parallel Civilizations Based on Formal Structure and Visual Imagination Formed in Mythical Narratives

Myth, like any other form of narrative, has an undeniable role in visual imagination based on the foundations of mythical thought. Ernst Cassirer, by recovering the fundamental principles of mythical thought, brings against them to the foundations of contemporary rational thought and defines the fundamental features of mythical thought as compared to modern rational thought. He also believes t...
