The disclosure generally relates to content-based clustering, recognition, classification and search of high volumes of multimedia data in real-time, and more specifically to generation of signatures of high volumes of multimedia content-segments in real-time.
With the abundance of multimedia data made available through various means in general and the Internet and world-wide web (WWW) in particular, there is also a need to provide for effective ways of searching for such multimedia data. Searching for multimedia data in general and video data in particular may be challenging at best due to the huge amount of information that needs to be checked. Moreover, when it is necessary to find a specific content of video, existing solutions revert to using various metadata that describes the content of the multimedia data. However, such content may be complex by nature and, therefore, not necessarily adequately documented as metadata.
The rapidly increasing number and size of multimedia databases, accessible for example through the Internet, call for the application of effective means for search-by-content. Searching for multimedia in general and for video data in particular is challenging due to the huge amount of information that has to be classified. Moreover, existing solutions revert to model-based methods to define and/or describe multimedia data. Some other existing solutions can determine whether an image that matches a known image to classify the content in the image. Those solutions cannot, however, may be unable to identify a match if, for example, content within the known image is of a different color, shown at a different angle, and so on.
By its very nature, the structure of such multimedia data may be too complex to be adequately represented by means of metadata. The difficulty arises in cases where the target sought for multimedia data cannot be adequately defined in words, or respective metadata of the multimedia data. For example, it may be desirable to locate a car of a particular model in a large database of video clips or segments. In some cases, the model of the car would be part of the metadata, but in many cases it would not. Moreover, the car may be at angles different from the angles of a specific photograph of the car that is available as a search item. Similarly, if a piece of music, as in a sequence of notes, is to be found, it is not necessarily the case that in all available content the notes are known in their metadata form, or for that matter, the search pattern may just be a brief audio clip.
A system implementing a computational architecture (hereinafter “The Architecture”) typically consists of a large ensemble of randomly, independently, generated, heterogeneous processing cores, mapping in parallel data-segments onto a high-dimensional space and generating compact signatures for classes of interest. The Architecture is based on a PCT patent application number WO 2007/049282 and published on May 3, 2007, entitled “A Computing Device, a System and a Method for Parallel Processing of Data Streams”, assigned to common assignee, and is hereby incorporated by reference for all the useful information it contains.

Moreover, some statements may apply to some inventive features but not to others. In general, unless otherwise indicated, singular elements may be in plural and vice versa with no loss of generality. In the drawings, like numerals refer to like parts through several views
Certain embodiments of disclosed herein include a framework, a method, a system, and their technological implementations and embodiments, for large-scale matching-based multimedia Deep Content Classification (DCC). The system is based on an implementation of a computational architecture (“The Architecture”) based on “A Computing Device, a System and a Method for Parallel Processing of Data Streams” technology, having a PCT patent application number WO 2007/049282 and published on May 3, 2007. The Architecture consists of a large ensemble of randomly, independently, generated, heterogeneous processing computational cores, mapping in parallel data-segments onto a high-dimensional space and generating compact signatures for classes of interest.
In accordance with the principles of the disclosed embodiments, a realization of The Architecture embedded in a large-scale matching system (“The System”) for multimedia DCC is disclosed. The System receives as an input stream, multimedia content segments, injected in parallel to all computational cores. The computational cores generate compact signatures for the specific content segment, and/or for a certain class of equivalence and interest of content-segments. For large-scale volumes of data, the signatures are stored in a conventional way in a database of size N, thereby allowing matching between the generated signatures of a certain content-segment and the signatures in the database, in low-cost, in terms of complexity, i.e. <=O(log N), and response time.
For the purpose of explaining the principles of the disclosure there are now demonstrated two embodiments: a Large-Scale Video Matching System; and a Large-Scale Speech-to-Text System. However, it is appreciated that other embodiments will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art.
Characteristics and advantages of the System include, but are not limited to:
The goal of a large-scale video matching system is effectively to find matches between members of large-scale Master DB of video content-segments and a large-scale Target DB of video content-segments. The match between two video content segments should be invariant to a certain set of statistical distortions performed independently on two relevant content-segments. Moreover, the process of matching between a certain content-segment from Master DB to Target DB consisting of N segments, cannot be done by matching directly the Master content-segment to all N Target content-segments, for large-scale N, since such a complexity of O(N), will lead to non-practical response times. Thus, the representation of content-segments by both Robust Signatures and Signatures is critical application-wise. The System embodies a specific realization of The Architecture for the purpose of Large-Scale Video Matching System.
A high-level description of the process for large-scale video matching is depicted in
To demonstrate an example of signature generation process, it is assumed, merely for the sake of simplicity and without limitation on the generality of the disclosed embodiments, that the signatures are based on a single frame, leading to certain simplification of the computational cores generation. This is further described in the cores generator for Large-Scale Video Matching System section. The system is extensible for signatures generation capturing the dynamics in-between the frames.
Signature Generation
Creation of Signature Robust to Additive Noise
Assuming L computational cores, generated for Large-Scale Video Matching System. A frame i is injected to all the cores. The cores generate two binary response vectors the Signature {right arrow over (S)} and Robust Signature {right arrow over (RS)}.
For generation of signatures robust to additive noise, such as White-Gaussian-Noise, scratch, etc., but not robust to distortions, such as crop, shift and rotation, the core Ci={ni} may consist of a single (LTU) node or more than one node. The node equations are:
where, ni=θ(Vi−Thx); θ is a Heaviside step function; wij is a coupling node unit (CNU) between node i and image component j (for example, grayscale value of a certain pixel j);
The Threshold Thx values are set differently for Signature generation and for Robust Signature generation. For example, as shown in
Assume L denotes the number of computational cores in the System. Having generated L cores by the core generator that constitute the Large-Scale Video Matching System, a frame i is injected to all the computational cores. The computational cores map the image frame onto two binary response vectors: the Signature {right arrow over (S)} and the Robust Signature {right arrow over (RS)}.
In order to generate signatures robust to additive noises, such as White-Gaussian-Noise, scratch, etc., and robust to distortions, such as crop, shift and rotation, etc., the core Ci should consist of a group of nodes (LTUs): Ci={nim}, where m is the number of nodes in each core i, generated according to certain statistical process, modeling variants of certain set of distortions.
The first step in generation of distortions-invariant signatures is to generate m Signatures and Robust Signatures, based on each of the m nodes in all the L cores, according to the algorithm described herein above. The next step is to determine a subset V of m potential signatures-variants for a certain frame i. This is done by defining a certain consistent and robust selection criterion, for example, select top f signature-variants out of m, with highest firing-rate across all L computational cores. The reduced set will be used as Signature and Robust Signature, invariant to distortions which were defined and used in the process of computational cores generation.
Computational Cores Generation
Computational Cores Generation is a process of definition, selection, and tuning of the Architecture parameters for a certain realization in specific system and application. The process is based on several design considerations, such as:
Following is a non-limiting example of core-generator module for large-scale video-matching system. The first step is a generation of L nodes, 1 for each of the L computational cores, following design optimization criteria (a) and (b).
Criterion (a) is implemented by formulating it as a problem of generating L projections, sampling uniformly a D-dimensional hemisphere. This problem cannot be solved analytically for an arbitrary L. However, there are singular solutions, obtained by Neil Sloane for a certain number of points for a given dimension. The definition of core-generator stochastic process is based on this singular solution. Another constraint embedded in this process definition is local distribution of coupling node currents (CNCs) according to design optimization criterions (b), i.e. the sparse connectivity has local characteristics in image space. Other solutions of almost uniform tessellations exist.
The second step is to fulfill design optimization criterion (c), by generating for each of the nodes of the computational cores, M variants, so that the cores will produce signatures robust to specific distortions of interest. This is done by applying to the functions of each node M.
Large-Scale Speech-to-Text System
The goal of large-scale speech-to-text system is to reliably translate fluent prior art technologies are based on model-based approaches, i.e., speech recognition through phonemes recognition and/or word recognition by Hidden-Markov-Models (HMM) and other methods, natural-language-processing techniques, language models and more, the disclosed approach constitutes a paradigm-shift in the speech-recognition domain. The disclosed System for speech-to-text is based on a previously-disclosed computational paradigm-shift, The Architecture.
High-level description of the system is further depicted, in
Signatures Generation
The signatures generation process will be described with reference to
In the next step, all the K patches are injected in parallel to all L computational Cores (3) to generate K response vectors (22).
Having L computational cores, generated by the cores generator for Large-Scale Speech-to-Text System, a patch i is injected to all the computational cores. Processing by the computational cores yields a response vector {right arrow over (R)}, for example, in the following way:
A computational core Ci consists of a m nodes (LTUs), generated according to cores-generator: Ci={nim}.
The response vector {right arrow over (R)} is the firing rate of all nodes, {nim}. The Signature (4) and the Robust Signature may be generated, for example, similarly as to the case of video content-segment, i.e., {right arrow over (S)} by applying the threshold {right arrow over (ThS)} to {right arrow over (R)}, and {right arrow over (RS)} by applying the threshold {right arrow over (ThRS)} to {right arrow over (R)}.
Speech-to-Speech-to-Text Process
Upon completion of the process of speech-to-speech matching, yielding M best matches from the database, the output of the relevant text is obtained by post-processing (19) of the attached text to the M records, for example, by finding the common dominator of the M members.
As an example, if the match yielded the following M=10 attached text records:
The proposed System for speech-to-text constitutes a major paradigm-shift from existing approaches to the design of prior art speech-to-text systems in several aspects. First, it is not model-based, i.e. no models are generated for phonemes, key-words, speech-context, and/or language. Instead, signatures generated for various speech-fragments, extract this information, which is later easily retrieved by low-cost database operations during the recognition process. This yields a major computational advantage in that no expert-knowledge of speech understanding is required during the training process, which in the disclosed method and its embodiment is signature generation. Second, the System does not require an inference of the input speech-segment to each of the generated models. Instead, for example, the Robust Signature generated for the input segment is matched against the whole database of signatures, in a way which does not require a complexity greater than O(log N). This yields inherent scalability characteristics of the System, and extremely short response times.
Synthesis for Generation of Large-scale “Knowledge” Databases
One of the main challenges in developing speech-to-text systems, with superior performance, is the process of collecting a large-scale and heterogeneous enough, “training” database. In the disclosed embodiments, an innovative approach for meeting this challenge is presented. For the purpose of large-scale database generation of transcribed speech, a prior art synthesizer is used. A synthesizer receives two inputs: (1) Large text database (2) Speech data-base with multiple speakers, intonations, etc. The synthesizer also generates a large database of heterogeneous speech, transcribed according to the provided text database. The generated large-scale database of transcribed speech is used according to the presented System flow.
Large-scale Classification Paradigm-Shift
The presented System implements a computational paradigm-shift required for classification tasks of natural signals, such as video and speech, at very large scales of volume and speed. For very large-scale tasks, such as the classification tasks related to the web content and/or any other large-scale database in terms of volume and update frequencies, the required performance envelope is extremely challenging. For example, the throughput rate of The System signature generation process should be equal to the rate of update process of the content database. Another example is the false-alarm or false-positive rate required for the System to be effective. A 1% false-positive rate for a certain content-segment may turn to 100% false-positive rate for a data-base of N content-segments being matched against another large-scale data-base. Thus, the false-positive rates should be extremely low. The presented System does afford such a low false-positive rate due to the paradigm-shift in its computational method for large-scale classification tasks. Unlike prior art learning systems, which generate a complex hyper-plane separating a certain class from the entire “world”, and/or model-based method, which generate a model of a certain class, the presented System generates a set of Robust Signatures for the presented samples of the class according to teachings described above. Specifically, the signatures are generated by maximally independent, transform/distortions-invariant, and signal-based characteristics of optimally designed computational cores. The generalization from a certain set of samples to a class is well defined in terms of invariance to transforms/distortions of interest, and the signatures' robustness, yielding extremely low false-positive rates. Moreover, the accuracy is scalable by the signatures length due to the low dependence of the computational cores.
