Bag of words for text

· Represent documents as a “bags of words”

Example

• Doc1 = “the quick brown fox jumped”• Doc2 = “brown quick jumped fox the”

Would a bag of words model represent these two documents differently?

K-means clustering (reminder)• Want to minimize sum of squared Euclidean

distances between points xi and their nearest cluster centers mk

Algorithm:• Randomly initialize K cluster centers• Iterate until convergence:

• Assign each data point to the nearest center• Recompute each cluster center as the mean of all points assigned

to it

Visual Categorization with Bags of KeypointsGabriella Csurka, Christopher R. Dance, Lixin Fan, Jutta Willamowski, Cédric Bray

22

Data

• Images in 7 classes: faces, buildings, trees, cars, phones, bikes, books

• Caltech 4 dataset: faces, airplanes, cars (rear and side), motorbikes, background

23

Method

Steps:– Detect and describe image patches.– Assign patch descriptors to a set of predetermined

clusters (a visual vocabulary).– Construct a bag of keypoints, which counts the

number of patches assigned to each cluster.– Apply a classifier (SVM or Naïve Bayes), treating the

bag of keypoints as the feature vector– Determine which category or categories to assign to

the image.

Bag of Keypoints (1)

• Construction of a vocabulary– Kmeans clustering find “centroids” (on all the descriptors we find from all the training images) – Define a “vocabulary” as a set of “centroids”, where every centroid represents

a “word”.

No need to know this mapping explicitly, because we only use the dot product of feature vectors in both the training and test.

A kernel function is defined as a function that corresponds to a dot product of two feature vectors in some expanded feature space:

SVM for image classification

• Train k binary 1-vs-all SVMs (one per class)• For a test instance, evaluate with each

classifier• Assign the instance to the class with the

largest SVM output

Naïve Bayes

We only specify (parameters): prior over class labels

how each feature depends on the class

Percentage of documents in training set labeled as spam/ham


41

In the documents labeled as spam, occurrence percentage of each word (e.g. # times “the” occurred/# total words).


42

In the documents labeled as ham, occurrence percentage of each word (e.g. # times “the” occurred/# total words).

Classification

Classification

45

Classification

• In practice– Multiplying lots of small probabilities can result in

floating point underflow

46

Classification


floating point underflow– Since log(xy) = log(x) + log(y), we can sum log

probabilities instead of multiplying probabilities.

47

Classification



probabilities instead of multiplying probabilities.– Since log is a monotonic function, the class with

the highest score does not change.

48

Classification



probabilities instead of multiplying probabilities.– Since log is a monotonic function, the class with

the highest score does not change.– So, what we usually compute in practice is:

Naive Bayes Parameters

Problem: Categorize images as one of k object classes using Naïve Bayes classifier:– Classes: object categories (face, car, bicycle, etc)– Features – Images represented as a histogram of

visual words. are visual words.

treated as uniform. learned from training data – images labeled

with category. Probability of a visual word given an image category.

52

Multi-class classifier –Naïve Bayes (1)

• Let V = {vi}, i = 1,…,N, be a visual vocabulary, in which each vi represents a visual word (cluster centers) from the feature space.

• A set of labeled images I = {Ii } .

• Denote Cj to represent our Classes, where j = 1,..,M

• N(t,i) = number of times vi occurs in image Ii

• Compute P(Cj|Ii):


53

Multi-class Classifier –Naïve Bayes (2)

• Goal - Find maximum probability class Cj:

• In order to avoid zero probability, use Laplace smoothing:

Discovering objects and their location in imagesJosef Sivic, Bryan C. Russell, Alexei A. Efros, Andrew Zisserman, William T. Freeman

Documents – ImagesWords – visual words (vector quantized SIFT descriptors)Topics – object categories

Images are modeled as a mixture of topics (objects).

69

Goals

They investigate three areas: – (i) topic discovery, where categories are

discovered by pLSA clustering on all available images.

– (ii) classification of unseen images, where topics corresponding to object categories are learnt on one set of images, and then used to determine the object categories present in another set.

– (iii) object detection, where you want to determine the location and approximate segmentation of object(s) in each image.

70

(i) Topic Discovery

Most likely words for 4 learnt topics (face, motorbike, airplane, car)

71

(ii) Image Classification

Confusion table for unseen test images against pLSA trained on images containing four object categories, but no background images.

72

(ii) Image Classification

Confusion table for unseen test images against pLSA trained on images containing four object categories, and background images. Performance is not quite as good.
