Title: Using non-expert collaborative work sources to create ontologies for visual recognition
Titre: Utilisation de sources collaborative non-experte pour la création d'ontologie dans le cadre de la reconnaissance visuelle
Supervisors:Marcin Marszalek and Cordelia Schmid
Abstract: Collaborative work sources like Wikipedia or Flickr incorporate semantically organized, non-expert human knowledge. They appear to be an interesting source of semantic knowledge that could be exploited in the area of visual recognition. During the work on the project, the student will try to automatically extract, cross-verify and strengthen the extracted knowledge. The student will then have an opportunity to use the extracted knowledge in order to improve the existing visual recognition systems.
