• Abstract: How can we define visual sentiment when viewers systematically disagree on their perspectives? This study introduces a novel approach to visual sentiment analysis by integrating attitudinal differences into visual sentiment classification. Recognizing that societal divides, such as partisan differences, heavily influence sentiment labeling, we developed a dataset that reflects these divides. We then trained a deep learning multi-task multi-class model to predict visual sentiment from different ideological viewpoints. Applied to immigration-related images, our approach captures perspectives from both Democrats and Republicans. By incorporating diverse perspectives into the labeling and model training process, our strategy addresses the limitation of label ambiguity and demonstrates improved accuracy in visual sentiment predictions. Overall, our study advocates for a paradigm shift in decoding visual sentiment toward creating classifiers that more accurately reflect the sentiments generated by humans.

  We introduce a novel approach named Multi-grained Compositional visual Clue Learning (MCCL) to address these challenges for image intent recognition. Our method leverages the systematic compositionality of human cognition by breaking down intent recognition into visual clue composition and integrating multi-grained features. We treat intent recognition as a multi-label classification problem, using a graph convolutional network to infuse prior knowledge through label embedding correlations.

  Multimodal aspect-based sentiment classification (MASC) is an emerging task due to an increase in user-generated multimodal content on social platforms. Despite extensive efforts and significant achievements in existing MASC, substantial gaps remain in understanding fine-grained visual content. We present Chimera: a cognitive and aesthetic sentiment causality understanding framework to derive fine-grained holistic features of aspects.

• When Does Perceptual Alignment Benefit Vision Representations? [76.32336818860965]
  We investigate how aligning vision model representations to human perceptual judgments impacts their usability. We find that aligning models to perceptual judgments yields representations that improve upon the original backbones across many downstream tasks. Our results suggest that injecting an inductive bias about human perceptual knowledge into vision models can contribute to better representations.

  Self-supervised models create representation spaces that lack clear semantic meaning. We introduce a novel method to analyze representation spaces using three key perceptual components: color, shape, and texture. Our approach enhances the interpretability of the representation space, offering explanations that resonate with human visual perception.

  We conduct a comparative analysis of the visual representations in existing vision-and-language models and vision-only models.

We hope our study sheds light on the role of language in visual learning, and serves as an empirical guide for various pretrained models.

  Visual Emotion Analysis (VEA) aims to predict people's emotions towards different visual stimuli. Existing methods often predict visual emotion distribution in a unified network, neglecting the inherent subjectivity in its crowd voting process. We propose a novel textitSubjectivity Appraise-and-Match Network (SAMNet) to investigate the subjectivity in visual emotion distribution.

• Visual Superordinate Abstraction for Robust Concept Learning [80.15940996821541]
  Concept learning constructs visual representations that are connected to linguistic semantics. We ascribe the bottleneck to a failure of exploring the intrinsic semantic hierarchy of visual concepts. We propose a visual superordinate abstraction framework for explicitly modeling semantic-aware visual subspaces.

• Building a visual semantics aware object hierarchy [0.0]
  We propose a novel unsupervised method to build visual semantics aware object hierarchy. Our intuition in this paper comes from real-world knowledge representation where concepts are hierarchically organized. The evaluation consists of two parts, firstly we apply the constructed hierarchy on the object recognition task and then we compare our visual hierarchy and existing lexical hierarchies to show the validity of our method.
