Abstract

We introduce ConceptFusion, a method that aims high accuracy in categorizing large number of scenes, while keeping the model relatively simpler and efficient for scalability. The proposed method combines the advantages of both low-level representations and high-level semantic categories, and eliminates the distinctions between different levels through the definition of concepts. The proposed framework encodes the perspectives brought through different concepts by considering them in concept groups that are ensembled for the final decision. Experiments carried out on benchmark datasets show the effectiveness of incorporating concepts in different levels with different perspectives.
