Abstract
A method for identifying synonymous expressions includes determining synonymous expression candidates for a target expression. A plurality of target images related to the target expression and a plurality of candidate images related to each of the synonymous expression candidates are identified. Features extracted from the plurality of target images are compared with features extracted from the plurality of candidate images using a processor to identify a synonymous expression of the target expression.
Claims20
A method for identifying synonymous expressions, comprising:
- determining synonymous expression candidates for a target non-facial-based expression;
- identifying a plurality of target images related to the target non-facial-based expression and a plurality of candidate images related to each of the synonymous expression candidates;
- and
- comparing features extracted from the plurality of target images with features extracted from the plurality of candidate images using a processor to identify a synonymous expression of the target non-facial-based expression,
- wherein the synonymous expression includes at least one of a word, a phrase, and a sound.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for identifying synonymous expressions, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
- determining synonymous expression candidates for a target non-facial-based expression;
- identifying a plurality of target images related to the target non-facial-based expression and a plurality of candidate images related to each of the synonymous expression candidates;
- and
- comparing features extracted from the plurality of target images with features extracted from the plurality of candidate images to identify a synonymous expression of the target non-facial-based expression,
- wherein the target non-facial-based expression and the synonymous expression include at least one of a word, a phrase, and a sound.
A system for identifying synonymous expressions, comprising:
- a candidate identifier determining synonymous expression candidates for a target non-facial-based expression;
- an image selector identifying a plurality of target images related to the target non-facial-based expression and a plurality of candidate images related to each of the synonymous expression candidates;
- and
- a comparator comparing features extracted from the plurality of target images with features extracted from the plurality of candidate images using a processor to identify a synonymous expression of the target non-facial-based expression,
- wherein the synonymous expression includes at least one of a word, a phrase, and a sound.
