Our objective is to improve the performance of keyword based image search engines by re-ranking their baseline results. To this end, we address three limitations of existing searc...
Measuring image similarity is a central topic in computer vision. In this paper, we learn similarity from Flickr groups and use it to organize photos. Two images are similar if th...
We observed that for multimedia data – especially music - collaborative similarity measures perform much better than similarity measures derived from content-based sound feature...
A novel algorithm is proposed to learn pattern similarities for texture image retrieval. Similar patterns in di erent texture classes are grouped into a cluster in the feature spac...
When given a small sample, we show that classification with SVM can be considerably enhanced by using a kernel function learned from the training data prior to discrimination. Thi...
