Weak supervisory information of web images, such as captions, tags, and descriptions, make it possible to better understand images at the semantic level. In this paper, we propose a novel online multimodal co-indexing algorithm based on Adaptive Resonance Theory, named OMC-ART, for the automatic co-indexing and retrieval of images using their multimodal information. Compared with existing studies, OMC-ART has several distinct characteristics. First, OMCART is able to perform online learning of sequential data. Second, OMC-ART builds a two-layer indexing structure, in which the first layer co-indexes the images by the key visual and textual features based on the generalized distributions …

Automatically Discovering The Number Of Clusters In Web Page Datasets, Zhongmei Yao

Clustering is well-suited for Web mining by automatically organizing Web pages into categories, each of which contains Web pages having similar contents. However, one problem in clustering is the lack of general methods to automatically determine the number of categories or clusters. For the Web domain in particular, currently there is no such method suitable for Web page clustering. In an attempt to address this problem, we discover a constant factor that characterizes the Web domain, based on which we propose a new method for automatically determining the number of clusters in Web page data sets. We discover that the …
