Pictogram Retrieval Based on Collective Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
To retrieve pictograms having semantically ambiguous interpretations, we propose a semantic relevance measure which uses pictogram interpretation words collected from a web survey. The proposed measure uses ratio and similarity information contained in a set of pictogram interpretation words to (1) retrieve pictograms having implicit meaning but not explicit interpretation word and (2) rank pictograms sharing common interpretation word(s) according to query relevancy which reflects the interpretation ratio.

Assisting Pictogram Selection with Categorized Semantics
Since participants at both end of the communication channel must share common pictogram interpretation to communicate, the pictogram selection task must consider both participants’ pictogram interpretations. Pictogram interpretation, however, can be ambiguous. To assist the selection of pictograms more likely to be interpreted as intended, we propose a categorical semantic relevance measure whi...
متن کامل9 Exploring Cultural Differences in Pictogram Interpretations
Pictogram communication is successful when participants at both end of the communication channel share a common pictogram interpretation. Not all pictograms carry universal interpretation, however; the issue of ambiguous pictogram interpretation must be addressed to assist pictogram communication. To unveil the ambiguity possible in pictogram interpretation, we conduct a human subject experimen...
متن کاملAnalysis of Cultural Differences in Pictogram Interpretations
The goal of this thesis is to present one concrete example of how a system can interpret and handle cultural differences in human-provided interpretations. In doing so, this thesis utilizes pictograms, a well-known iconic medium of communication which contains both the implicit cultural interpretations as well as explicit semantic interpretations. Cross-cultural pictogram interpretations are co...

متن کاملInvariant Recognition of Hand-Drawn Pictograms Using HMMs with a Rotating Feature Extraction
In this paper, we present a new feature extraction technique and a novel Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based classifier for the rotation, translation and scale invariant recognition of handdrawn pictograms. The feature extraction is performed by taking a fixed dimensional vector along the radius of a circle surrounding the pictogram. Within the HMM-framework these features are used to classify the ...
