We describe a novel learning scheme for hidden dependencies in video streams. The proposed scheme aims to transform a given sequential stream into a dependency structure of particle populations. Each particle population summarizes an associated segment. The novel point of the proposed scheme is that both of dependency learning and segment summarization are performed in an unsupervised online manner without assuming priors. The proposed scheme is executed in two-stage learning. At the first stage, a segment corresponding to a common dominant image is estimated using evolutionary particle filtering. Each dominant image is depicted based on combinations of image descriptors. Prevailing features of a dominant image are selected through evolution. Genetic operators introduce the essential diversity preventing sample impoverishment. At the second stage, transitional probability between the estimated segments is computed and stored. The proposed scheme is applied to extract dependencies in an episode of a TV drama. We demonstrate performance by comparing to human estimations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
