ABSTRACT
Image search is becoming prevalent in web search as the number of digital photos grows exponentially on the internet. For a successful image search system, removing outliers in the top ranked results is a challenging task. Typical content based image search engines take an input image from one class as a query and compute relevance between the query and images in a database. The results often contain a large number of outliers, since these outliers may be similar to the query image in some way. In this paper we present a novel search scheme using query images from multiple classes. Instead of conducting query search for one image class at a time, we conduct multi-class query search jointly. By using several query classes that are similar to each other for multi-class query, we can utilize information across similar classes to fine tune the similarity measure to remove outliers. This strategy can be used for any information search application. In this work, we use content based image search to illustrate the concept.

Content quality based image retrieval with multiple instance boost ranking
MM '11: Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on MultimediaMost previous works treated image retrieval as a classification problem or a similarity measurement problem. In this paper, we propose a new idea for image retrieval, in which we regard image retrieval as a ranking issue by evaluating image content ...
Re-ranking search results using query logs
CIKM '06: Proceedings of the 15th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge managementThis work addresses two common problems in search, frequently occurring with underspecified user queries: the top-ranked results for such queries may not contain documents relevant to the user's search intent, and fresh and relevant pages may not get ...
Image ranking with implicit feedback from eye movements
ETRA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Symposium on Eye-Tracking Research & ApplicationsIn order to help users navigate an image search system, one could provide explicit information on a small set of images as to which of them are relevant or not to their task. These rankings are learned in order to present a user with a new set of images ...
