A Multimodal And Multilevel Ranking Scheme For Large-Scale Video Retrieval, Steven C. H. Hoi, Michael R. Lyu Jun 2008

A Multimodal And Multilevel Ranking Scheme For Large-Scale Video Retrieval, Steven C. H. Hoi, Michael R. Lyu

A critical issue of large-scale multimedia retrieval is how to develop an effective framework for ranking the search results. This problem is particularly challenging for content-based video retrieval due to some issues such as short text queries, insufficient sample learning, fusion of multimodal contents, and large-scale learning with huge media data. In this paper, we propose a novel multimodal and multilevel (MMML) ranking framework to attack the challenging ranking problem of content-based video retrieval. We represent the video retrieval task by graphs and suggest a graph based semi-supervised ranking (SSR) scheme, which can learn with small samples effectively and integrate …

Active learning has been shown as a key technique for improving content-based image retrieval (CBIR) performance. Among various methods, support vector machine (SVM) active learning is popular for its application to relevance feedback in CBIR. However, the regular SVM active learning has two main drawbacks when used for relevance feedback. First, SVM often suffers from learning with a small number of labeled examples, which is the case in relevance feedback. Second, SVM active learning usually does not take into account the redundancy among examples, and therefore could select multiple examples in relevance feedback that are similar (or even identical) to …
