The Use of Non-Conventional
Means for Media Content
Analysis and Understanding
- Brain Signals -

Observation
• Human brain is still a more efficient
processor for some tasks when compared
to computers
– Media content analysis and understanding
3
Multimedia Signal Processing Group
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne
Approach
• Use human brain as a co-processor for
advanced content analysis
– Social networks applied to content analysis
and annotation
– Brain Computer Interface
4

BCI versus social tagging
• Social tagging
– Explicit
– Verbal
• BCI
– Implicit
– Non-verbal
5

A couple interesting illustrations
• Curiosity cloning
• Emotional tagging
6

Curiosity cloning in deep space exploration
• Pure pattern matching, Scientific Richness Index or other
classifiers are programmed to find what we already know: the
expected.
Q: Can we code the interest in the unexpected?
(Scientific) Curiosity?

Curiosity cloning in deep space exploration
• An alternative to explicit and specific definition of what we
are looking for ...(e.g., dust-devils)
• Present to experts (e.g., experts on mars geology) a lot of
images and rate them
• Images/Rating pairs can form a training set for a classifier
• The classifier could be programmed on a rover
• Robot’s processor would be a “clone” of the scientist’s
interest, curiosity, expertise

Specialist versus naïve subjects EEG
Averaged PZ electrodes for subjects. Top left: specialist, Others: naïve subjects. Horizontal
axis is the time after stimulus onset and vertical axis amplitude of the P300 signal.
Scientifically interesting Target (red), Non-Target (blue) , Non-obvious target (dashed black)
stimulus.

EEG Single Trial Classification
• Goal: Predict valence, arousal and stance for each video.
• Threshold subjects' arousal/valence/stance into two classes (e.g.
positive or negative arousal)
• Extract features using common spatial patterns algorithms
• Use linear SVM classifier for classification.
• Segment each video into 10 samples and test using leave-one-
video-out cross-validation.
