For effective retrieval of visual information, statistical learning plays a pivotal role. Statistical learning in such a context faces at least two major mathematical challenges: ...
Online image repositories such as Flickr contain hundreds of millions of images and are growing quickly. Along with that the needs for supporting indexing, searching and browsing ...
Distance metric learning has been widely investigated in machine learning and information retrieval. In this paper, we study a particular content-based image retrieval application ...
Traditional content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems often fail to meet a user's need due to the `semantic gap' between the extracted features of the systems and the...
One of the main challenges for Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is to achieve meaningful mappings between the high-level semantic concepts and the low-level visual features in...
