Toward Cross-Language and Cross-Media Image Retrieval

This report describes the approach used in our participation of ImageCLEF. Our focus is on image retrieval using text, i.e. Cross-Media IR. To do this, we first determine the strong relationships between keywords and types of visual features. Then the subset of images retrieved by text retrieval is used as examples to match other images according to the most important types of features of the query words.
