What is On Quantizing the Mental Image of Concepts for Visual Semantic Analyses about?

With the rise of multi-modal applications, the need for better understanding of the relationship between language and vision becomes prominent. While modern applications often consider both text and image, human perception is often only of secondary consideration. In my doctoral studies, I research the quantization of visual differences between concepts regarding human perception. Initially, I looked at local visual differences between concepts and their subordinate concepts, measuring the variety gap between images of, e.g. car and vehicle. In the following study, I applied data-mining on Web-crawled images to estimate psycholinguistics metrics like the imageability of words. In this way, the tendency of low-vs. high-imageability can be estimated on a dictionary-level, defining the gap between words like peace and car. Going forward, I want to create visualization demos to analyze psycholinguistic relationships in image datasets.
