Identifying expressions for target concept with images

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for identifying an expression for a target concept, includes: obtaining a set of texts as a target set of texts, with each text being associated with one of images relevant to a target concept. Candidate expressions for the target concept are extracted from the target set of texts. The candidate expressions are characteristic of the target set of texts. Each image relevant to one of the candidate expressions is collected by using an image search engine. A target expression for the target concept is selected from the candidate expressions based on a comparison result of the target concept and the collected images.
