Semantic segmentation is a powerful method to facilitate visual scene understanding. Each pixel is assigned a label according to a pre-defined list of object classes and semantic entities. This becomes very useful as a means to summarize…
Sometimes the meaning conveyed by images goes beyond the list of objects they contain; instead, images may express a powerful message to affect the viewers' minds. Inferring this message requires reasoning about the relationships between…
Image similarity has been extensively studied in computer vision. In recent years, machine-learned models have shown their ability to encode more semantics than traditional multivariate metrics. However, in labelling semantic similarity,…
