Abstract

The generation of image-evoked emotion is usually regarded as a transient process in the image sentiment analysis. However, according to the saccade mechanism of the human visual system, the evoked emotion generated during the saccade process changes over time and attention. Based on above analysis, we propose an Attentive Visual Patch Transformer (AVPT), using visual attention sequence to represent the sentiment context of images and predict the possible distribution of sentiment. In AVPT, the spatial structure in the form of patches are reconstructed and reorganized by visual attention shift sequentially. Simultaneously, the temporal characteristics of attention shift are introduced to the relative position encoding, and merged in a self-attention manner to form a spatial–temporal process similarly to the human visual system. Specifically, we propose a sequence attention shift module to simulate the saccade process, which obtains sequence attention and reduces the computational effort by group attentive convolutional gate recurrent unit. Then, a spatial–temporal correlation encoder module is proposed to encode temporal attention with spatial visual features and obtain the sequential visual features of saccade. Finally, a self-attention fusion module is used to extract the correlation hidden in the relative encoding features. Our proposed AVPT achieves excellent performance on visual sentiment distribution prediction and is comparable to state-of-the-art methods, as demonstrated by extensive experiments on the Flickr_LDL and Twitter_LDL datasets.

期刊介绍: Applied Soft Computing is an international journal promoting an integrated view of soft computing to solve real life problems.The focus is to publish the highest quality research in application and convergence of the areas of Fuzzy Logic, Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computing, Rough Sets and other similar techniques to address real world complexities. Applied Soft Computing is a rolling publication: articles are published as soon as the editor-in-chief has accepted them. Therefore, the web site will continuously be updated with new articles and the publication time will be short.
