Abstract

Bridging the semantic gap is one of the big challenges in multimedia
information retrieval. It exists between the extraction of low-level
features of a video and its conceptual contents. In order to understand the
conceptual content of a video a common approach is building concept
detectors. A problem of this approach is that the number of detectors is
impossible to determine. This paper presents a set of 8 methods on how to
combine two existing concepts into a new one, which occurs when both
concepts appear at the same time. The scores for each shot of a video for
the combined concept are computed from the output of the underlying
detectors. The findings are evaluated on basis of the output of the 101
detectors including a comparison to the theoretical possibility to train a
classifier on each combined concept. The precision gains are significant,
specially for methods which also consider the chronological surrounding of a
shot promising.
