Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Although recent studies have shown that unlabeled data are beneficial to boosting the image retrieval performance, very few approaches for image retrieval can learn with labeled and unlabeled data effectively. This paper proposes a novel semi-supervised active learning framework comprising a fusion of semi-supervised learning and support vector machines. We provide theoretical analysis of the active learning framework and present a simple yet effective active learning algorithm for image retrieval. Experiments are conducted on real-world color images to compare with traditional methods. The promising experimental results show that our proposed scheme significantly outperforms the previous approaches.

Relevance feedback has been shown as an important tool to boost the retrieval performance in content-based image retrieval. In the past decade, various algorithms have been proposed to formulate relevance feedback in contentbased image retrieval. Traditional relevance feedback techniques mainly carry out the learning tasks by focusing lowlevel visual features of image content with little consideration on log information of user feedback. However, from a long-term learning perspective, the user feedback log is one of the most important resources to bridge the semantic gap problem in image retrieval. In this paper we propose a novel technique to integrate the log …
