First, the relevance feedback isadapted to refine the recognition results and reduce the ambiguity incrementally based on theestablishment of a feature-based vector model of a user's sketches. Secondly, a dynamic usermodeling is introduced to model the user's sketching habits based on recording and analyzinghistorical information incrementally. A model-based matching strategy is also employed in the methodto recognize sketches dynamically. Experiments prove that the proposed method is both effective andefficient.展开更多

It has a good effect on reducing the semantic gap between high semantics and low semantics of images. There are many kinds of support vector machines (SVM) based relevance feedback methods in image retrieval, but all of them may encounter some problems, such as a small size of sample, an asymmetric positive sample and negative sample as well as a long feedback cycle. To deal with these problems, an improved asymmetric bagging (IAB) relevance feedback algorithm is proposed. Furthermore, we apply a new fuzzy support machine (FSVM) to cooperate with IAB. To solve the over-fitting and real-time problems, we use modified local binary patterns (MLBP) as image features. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that our method performs other methods in terms of improving retrieval precision as well as retrieval efficiency.展开更多

Unlike existing region-based approaches where either individual regions are used or only simple spatial layout is modeled, the proposed approach simultaneously models both region properties and their spatial relationships in a probabilistic framework. Furthermore, the retrieval performance is improved by an adaptive filter based relevance feedback. To illustrate the performance of the proposed approach, extensive experiments have been carried out on a large heterogeneous image collection with 17,000 images, which render promising results on a wide variety of queries.展开更多

This paper describes an online metric learning approach for a set of ranking functions. In the feedback round, the most relevant and most nonrelevant images related to the target image are selected to construct a relative comparison triplet. The weighting parameters of the multiple ranking functions are updated by minimizing a quadratic objective function constrained by the triplet. The approach unifies the learning algorithm for the most commonly used ranking functions. Thus, multiple features with their own ranking function can easily be employed in the ranking module without feature reconstruction. The method is computationally inexpensive and appropriate for large-scale e-commerce image retrieval applications. Customized ranking functions are well supported. Practically, simplified ranking functions yield better results when the number of query rounds is relatively small. Experiments with an image dataset from a real e-commerce platform show the superiority of the proposed approach.展开更多

The selection of the terms that are suitable for use as additional words is in general dependent on the degree of relatedness between each candidate expansion term and the query keywords. In this paper, we propose two criteria for evaluating the degree of relatedness between a candidate expansion word and the query keywords： （1） co-occurrence frequency, where more importance is attributed to terms oc- curring in the largest possible number of documents where the query keywords appear; （2） proximity, where more im- portance is assigned to terms having a short distance from the query terms within documents. We also employ the strength Pareto fitness assignment in order to satisfy both criteria si- multaneously. The results of our numerical experiments on MEDLINE, the online medical information database, show that the proposed approach significantly enhances the re- trieval performance as compared to the baseline.展开更多
