More than ever, technical inventions are the symbol of our society's advance. Patents guarantee their creators protection against infringement. For an invention being patentable, its novelty and inventiveness have to be assessed. Therefore,…

Image classification, which classifies images by pre-defined categories, has been the dominant approach to visual representation learning over the last decade. Visual learning through image-text alignment, however, has emerged to show…

Text classification helps analyse texts for semantic meaning and relevance, by mapping the words against this hierarchy. An analysis of various types of texts is invaluable to understanding both their semantic meaning, as well as their…

Visual blends combine elements from two distinct visual concepts into a single, integrated image, with the goal of conveying ideas through imaginative and often thought-provoking visuals. Communicating abstract concepts through visual…

Recent advances in text-guided image compression have shown great potential to enhance the perceptual quality of reconstructed images. These methods, however, tend to have significantly degraded pixel-wise fidelity, limiting their…

Clipping, as a current nonlinear distortion, often occurs due to the limited dynamic range of audio recorders. It degrades the speech quality and intelligibility and adversely affects the performances of speech and speaker recognitions. In…

Although the availability of a large amount of data is usually given for granted, there are relevant scenarios where this is not the case; for instance, in the biomedical/healthcare domain, some applications require to build huge datasets…

Patent retrieval has been attracting tremendous interest from researchers in intellectual property and information retrieval communities in the past decades. However, most existing approaches rely on textual and metadata information of the…

Image descriptions can help visually impaired people to quickly understand the image content. While we made significant progress in automatically describing images and optical character recognition, current approaches are unable to include…

We propose in this paper a new, hybrid document embedding approach in order to address the problem of document similarities with respect to the technical content. To do so, we employ a state-of-the-art graph techniques to first extract the…

Name disambiguation aims to identify unique authors with the same name. Existing name disambiguation methods always exploit author attributes to enhance disambiguation results. However, some discriminative author attributes (e.g., email and…

We study the problem of generating abstractive summaries for opinionated text. We propose an attention-based neural network model that is able to absorb information from multiple text units to construct informative, concise, and fluent…

The performance of medical research can be viewed and evaluated not only from the perspective of publication output, but also from the perspective of economic exploitability. Patents can represent the exploitation of research results and…

Text representations using neural word embeddings have proven effective in many NLP applications. Recent researches adapt the traditional word embedding models to learn vectors of multiword expressions (concepts/entities). However, these…

Modern classification models tend to struggle when the amount of annotated data is scarce. To overcome this issue, several neural few-shot classification models have emerged, yielding significant progress over time, both in Computer Vision…

In this paper, we present a label transfer model from texts to images for image classification tasks. The problem of image classification is often much more challenging than text classification. On one hand, labeled text data is more widely…

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) demonstrate remarkable capabilities in learning complex hierarchical data representations, but the nature of these representations remains largely unknown. Existing global explainability methods, such as Network…

The thesis describes the application of the relaxation labelling algorithm to NLP disambiguation. Language is modelled through context constraint inspired on Constraint Grammars. The constraints enable the use of a real value statind…

For management, documents are categorized into a specific category, and to do these, most of the organizations use manual labor. In today's automation era, manual efforts on such a task are not justified, and to avoid this, we have so many…

With the rise of deep learning algorithms nowadays, scene image representation methods have achieved a significant performance boost in classification. However, the performance is still limited because the scene images are mostly complex…
