Ma. Tonantzintla Cra 30 No 45 03-Ciudad Universitaria C.P. 72840 Puebla, Mexico [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel model for multimodal learning based on gated neu- ral networks. The Gated Multimodal Unit (GMU) model is intended to be used as an internal unit in a neural network architecture whose purpose is to find an intermediate representation based on a combination of data from different modal- ities. The GMU learns to decide how modalities influence the activation of the unit using multiplicative gates. It was evaluated on a multilabel scenario for genre classification of movies using the plot and the poster. The GMU improved the macro f-score performance of single-modality approaches and outperformed other fusion strategies, including mixture of experts models. Along with this work, the MM-IMDb dataset is released which, to the best of our knowledge, is the largest publicly available multimodal dataset for genre prediction on movies. 1 INTRODUCTION Representation learning methods have received a lot of attention by researchers and practitioners because of its successful application to complex problems in areas such as computer vision, speech recognition and text processing (LeCun et al., 2015).

INTRODUCTION Statistics Canada (STC) is in its fifth year of a multi-year project to implement a central metadata repository in support of its on-line data dissemination activities. The Integrated Metadatabase (IMDB), being implemented in phases, stores information on each of STC’s nearly 400 active surveys. The system was implemented in November 2000 and improvements have been made gradually since then. Another milestone was attained in the fall of 2002 with the implementation of hyperlinks from data release articles in The Daily on STC’s web site to the IMDB record(s) describing the survey(s) from which the data are produced. The information presently available in the IMDB consists of a general description of the survey, its target population, its methodology - segmented into 10 components - and of measures of the accuracy of the statistics produced. The present development phase aims at storing in the IMDB the names and definitions of the statistical variables produced by each survey, along with the classifications used. At first, only variables disseminated through CANSIM, STC’s corporate data dissemination database, will be covered.
