Automatically Recognizing Intended Messages in Grouped Bar Charts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information graphics (bar charts, line graphs, grouped bar charts, etc.) often appear in popular media such as newspapers and magazines. In most cases, the information graphic is intended to convey a high-level message; this message plays a role in understanding the document but is seldom repeated in the document’s text. This paper presents our methodology for recognizing the intended message of a grouped bar chart. We discuss the types of messages communicated in grouped bar charts, the communicative signals that serve as evidence for the message, and the design and evaluation of our implemented system.

Modeling a Graph Viewer's Effort in Recognizing Messages Conveyed by Grouped Bar Charts
Information graphics (bar charts, line graphs, etc.) in popular media generally have a high-level message that they are intended to convey. These messages are seldom repeated in the document’s text yet contribute to understanding the overall document. The relative perceptual effort required to recognize a particular message is a communicative signal that serves as a clue about whether that mess...
متن کاملClassifying Salient Textual Entities in the Headlines and Captions of Grouped Bar Charts
Information graphics, such as grouped bar charts, generally have a communicative message that they are intended to convey when they appear in popular media. Communicative signals are typically designed into the graphic to help convey to the graph viewer these intended messages. We have designed and implemented a system that automatically hypothesizes the intended message of a grouped bar chart ...
متن کاملProcessing Information Graphics in Multimodal Documents
Information graphics, such as bar charts, grouped bar charts, and line graphs, are an important component of multimodal documents and cannot be ignored. When such graphics appear in popular media, such as magazines and newspapers, they generally have an intended message. We argue that this message represents a brief summary of the graphic’s high-level content, and thus can serve as the basis fo...
متن کاملAnalyzing the Effect of Communicative Evidence in a Bayesian System for Grouped Bar Chart Message Recognition
Information graphics, such as bar charts and line graphs, generally have a communicative message that they are intended to convey when they appear in popular media. The communicative signals present or absent in the graphic help convey these underlying intended messages. We have designed a Bayesian system that automatically extracts communicative signals from a grouped bar chart information gra...
متن کاملVisual and Spatial Factors in a Bayesian Reasoning Framework for the Recognition of Intended Messages in Grouped Bar Charts
The overall goal of our research is the automatic recognition of the intended message of a grouped bar chart. This paper presents our preliminary work on a system that utilizes the communicative signals in a grouped bar chart as evidence in a Bayesian network that hypothesizes the primary message conveyed by the graphic. The paper discusses the kinds of communicative signals present in grouped ...
