Abstract
This survey documents representation approaches for classification across different modalities, from purely content-based methods to techniques utilizing external sources of structured knowledge. We present studies related to three paradigms used for representation, namely (a) low-level template-matching methods, (b) aggregation-based approaches, and (c) deep representation learning systems. We then describe existing resources of structure knowledge and elaborate on the need for enriching representations with such information. Approaches that utilize knowledge resources are presented next, organized with respect to how external information is exploited, i.e., (a) input enrichment and modification, (b) knowledge-based refinement and (c) end-to-end knowledge-aware systems. We subsequently provide a high-level discussion to summarize and compare strengths/weaknesses of the representation/enrichment paradigms proposed, and conclude the survey with an overview of relevant research findings and possible directions for future work.
