Semantic segmentation focuses on classifying each pixel in an image into a specific category. It assigns a unique class label to each pixel in an image and divides it into one of the predefined set of semantic categories, such as person, car, or tree. However, this segmentation technique does not differentiate between instances of the same class and treats them as a single entity. Imagine coloring a scene where all cars are blue, all people are red, and everything else is green – that’s semantic segmentation in action. 2, record 1, English, - semantic%20segmentation

La segmentation sémantique est l’assignation d’une classe à chaque pixel d’une image afin de cerner précisément les éléments qui la composent. Ce procédé diffère de la détection d’objets qui se limite à identifier la position approximative des éléments dans l’image. Bien que plus difficile, ce niveau de précision a ses avantages. Par exemple, lors de l’application sélective d’herbicide, la proximité des plantes est un enjeu important. Le simple rectangle autour d’une cible probable n’est plus suffisant, car il peut mener à une application sur les mauvaises espèces. 2, record 1, French, - segmentation%20s%C3%A9mantique

In many spoken dialogue systems the meaning of the utterance is derived directly from the recognized string using a semantic grammar. A semantic grammar uses phrase structure rules as a syntactic grammar does, but its constituents are classified in terms of function or meaning rather than syntactic categories. Generally semantic grammars for spoken dialogue and other natural language systems are domain specific. 2, record 2, English, - semantic%20grammar

Grammaire sémantique. Les catégories non terminales de ce type de grammaire sont des classes sémantiques, définies par le concepteur à partir du domaine à traiter. Le traitement d’une phrase consiste alors à vérifier des correspondances sémantiques avec la grammaire sans trop se préoccuper de la syntaxe; celle-ci reste implicite et correspond simplement à l'ordre dans lequel peuvent apparaître les diverses catégories sémantiques. 2, record 2, French, - grammaire%20s%C3%A9mantique
