• Title: Marriage is a Peach and a Chalice: Modelling Cultural Symbolism on the SemanticWeb
• Authors: Bruno Sartini, Marieke van Erp, Aldo Gangemi
• Abstract summary: We introduce the Simulation Ontology, an ontology that models the background knowledge of symbolic meanings. We re-engineered the symbolic knowledge already present in heterogeneous resources by converting it into our ontology schema to create HyperReal. A first experiment run on the knowledge graph is presented to show the potential of quantitative research on symbolism.

• Abstract: In this work, we fill the gap in the Semantic Web in the context of Cultural Symbolism. Building upon earlier work in, we introduce the Simulation Ontology, an ontology that models the background knowledge of symbolic meanings, developed by combining the concepts taken from the authoritative theory of Simulacra and Simulations of Jean Baudrillard with symbolic structures and content taken from "Symbolism: a Comprehensive Dictionary" by Steven Olderr. We re-engineered the symbolic knowledge already present in heterogeneous resources by converting it into our ontology schema to create HyperReal, the first knowledge graph completely dedicated to cultural symbolism. A first experiment run on the knowledge graph is presented to show the potential of quantitative research on symbolism.

  We introduce Deep Grounding (DSG), a framework that leverages explicit structured representations of visual abstractions for grounding and reasoning. At the core of DSG are schemas--dependency graph descriptions of abstract concepts that decompose them into more primitive-level symbols. We show that DSG significantly improves the abstract visual reasoning performance of vision-language models.

  We advocate the use of a dual-level model for concept representations. The embodied level consists of concept-oriented feature representations, and the symbolic level consists of concept graphs. We discuss two important use cases: embodied-symbolic knowledge distillation for few-shot class incremental learning, and embodied-symbolic fused representation for image-text matching.

We devise a novel reinforcement learning method such that agents are evolved jointly towards successful communication and abstract graphical conventions.

We demonstrate that our model scales beyond state-of-the-art symbolic learners and outperforms deep relational neural network architectures.

• Interpretable Visual Reasoning via Induced Symbolic Space [75.95241948390472]
  We study the problem of concept induction in visual reasoning, i.e., identifying concepts and their hierarchical relationships from question-answer pairs associated with images. We first design a new framework named object-centric compositional attention model (OCCAM) to perform the visual reasoning task with object-level visual features. We then come up with a method to induce concepts of objects and relations using clues from the attention patterns between objects' visual features and question words.
