Definition • Translated Learning • Learning across Different Feature Spaces
Applications • Cross-language Classification • Rigutini et al., WI2005; Ling et al., WWW2008; … • Text-aided Image Classification • We submitted two papers to AAAI2008 & ICML2008 respectively. • Future work • Text to Music • Text to Video • Image to Video • …
Related Work • Cross-language Classification • Rigutini et al., WI2005 • English to Italian • Ling et al., WWW2008 • English to Chinese • Most cross-language classification approaches relies on machine translation. • Ad hoc • Machine translation is difficult in most scenarios. • E.g. text-to-picture translation
Basic Idea • Instance-level machine translation relies on understanding instances, at least basically. • Machine translation in NLP is an easy special case, since it is based on sentence understanding. • Classification models are usually on the feature-level. • Translating classification models is also on the feature-level. • could be much easier than instance-level translation
Human Learning Example • Task: tyrannosaurus vs stegosaurus • htyrannosaurus: bipedal carnivore with a massive skull balanced by long, heavy tail. Its forelimbs were small and retained only two digits. • stegosaurus: quadruped ornithischian dinosaur of four long bony spikes on a flexible tail and two rows of upright triangular bony plates running along the back.
Model-level Translation Elephants are big mammals on earth... Learning Learning Input Input Output Output massive hoofed mammal of Africa... translating learning models
Naive Bayesian Approach • Incorporating translator difficult to estimate
Risk Minimization Approach • Loss function
Inference • Assume there is no prior difference among all the classes
Model Estimation • KL-divergence • Negative of cosine • Negative of PCC
Outline • Introduction • Related Work • Our Research • Future Work
Future Work • More applications • Cross-language classification • Using dictionaries as translators • Text to music, video, … • Image to video • Improving translator estimation • Integrating text classification and translator estimation into one optimization model
