Abstract

In this paper, we propose two general multiple-instance active learning (MIAL) methods, multiple-instance active learning with a simple margin strategy (S-MIAL) and multiple-instance active learning with fisher information (F-MIAL), and apply them to the active learning in localized content based image retrieval (LCBIR). S-MIAL considers the most ambiguous picture as the most valuable one, while F-MIAL utilizes the fisher information and analyzes the value of the unlabeled pictures by assigning different labels to them. In experiments, we will show their superior performances in LCBIR tasks.
