Search for Multi-modality Data in Digital Libraries

Developing effective and efficient retrieval techniques for multimedia data is a challenging issue in building a digital library. Unlike most previously proposed retrieval approaches that focus on a specific media type, this paper presents 2M2Net as a seamless integration framework for retrieval of multi-modality data in digital libraries. As its specific approaches, a learningfrom-elements strategy is devised for propagation of semantic descriptions, and a cross media search mechanism with relevance feedback is proposed for evaluation and refinement of user queries. Experiments conducted on a digital encyclopedia manifest the effectiveness and flexibility of our approaches.
