Abstract-The quality of a semantic annotation is typically measured with its averaged class-accuracy value, whose computation requires scarce ground-truth annotations. We observe that humans accumulate knowledge through their vision and believe that the quality of a semantic annotation is proportionally related to its compatibility with the vision-based knowledge. We propose a knowledge-compatibility benchmarker, whose backbone is a regression machine. It takes as input a semantic annotation and the vision-based knowledge, then outputs an estimate of the corresponding averaged class-accuracy value. The knowledge encodes three kinds of information, namely: cooccurrence statistics, scene properties and relative positions. We introduce three types of feature vectors for regression. Each specifies the characteristics of a probability vector that captures the compatibility between an annotation and each kind of the knowledge. Experiment results show that the Gradient Boosting regression outperforms the ν-Support Vector regression. It achieves best performance at an R 2 -score of 0.737 and an MSE of 0.034. This indicates not only that the vision-based knowledge resembles humans' common sense but also that the feature vector for regression is justifiable.
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.
