Looking Beyond the Obvious: Abstract Concept Recognition for Video Understanding
The automatic understanding of video content is advancing rapidly. Empowered by deeper neural networks and large datasets, machines are increasingly capable of understanding what is concretely visible in video frames, whether it be objects, actions, events, or scenes. In comparison, humans retain a unique ability to also look beyond concrete entities and recognize abstract concepts like justice, freedom, and togetherness. Abstract concept recognition forms a crucial open challenge in video understanding, where reasoning on multiple semantic levels based on contextual information is key. This survey explores abstract concepts and tasks formulated at high semantic levels that go beyond objective reasoning, specifically focusing on concepts in visual data, with other modalities in videos as support.
