Papers
Meta4meaning: Automatic Metaphor Interpretation Using Corpus-Derived Word Associations.
Ping Xiao,Khalid Alnajjar,Mark Granroth-Wilding,Kathleen Agres,Hannu Toivonen +4 more
- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: A novel metaphor interpretation method that provides interpretations for nominal metaphors by generating a list of properties that the metaphor expresses, Meta4meaning, which significantly outperforms the previous methods on this task.
Vismantic: Meaning-making with Images.
Ping Xiao,Simo Linkola +1 more
- 29 Jun 2015
TL;DR: Analysis of the generated images confirms that visual meaningmaking is a subtle interaction between all elements in a picture, for which Vismantic demands more visual semantic knowledge, higher image analysis and synthesis skills, and the ability of interpreting composed images, in order to deliver more ideas that make sense.

Ping Xiao,Josep Blat +1 more
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: The capacity of the computer program is demonstrated in a task of reproducing the pictorial metaphor ideas used in three real advertisements, as well as a few other vehicles recommended, which, it is considered, would make effective advertisements as well.
