Personalized Image Recommendation

—In this paper, we have developed a novel framework called JustClick to enable personalized image recommendation via exploratory search from large-scale collections of manuallyannotated Flickr images. First, a topic network is automatically generated to summarize large-scale collections of manuallyannotated Flickr images at a semantic level. Hyperbolic visualization is further used to enable interactive navigation and exploration of the topic network, so that users can gain insights of large-scale image collections at the first glance, build up their mental query models interactively and specify their queries (i.e., image needs) more precisely by selecting the image topics on the topic network directly. Thus our personalized query recommendation framework can effectively address both the problem of query formulation and the problem of vocabulary discrepancy and null returns.
