Leveraging user comments for aesthetic aware image search reranking

There are about 8% of men and 0.8% of women suffering from colorblindness. We show that the existing image search techniques cannot provide satisfactory results for these users, since many images will not be well perceived by them due to the loss of color information. In this paper, we introduce a scheme named Accessible Image Search (AIS) to accommodate these users. Different from the general image search scheme that aims at returning more relevant results, AIS further takes into account the colorblind accessibilities of the returned results, i.e., the image qualities in the eyes of colorblind users. The scheme includes two components: accessibility assessment and accessibility improvement. For accessibility assessment, we introduce an analysisbased method and a learning-based method. Based on the measured accessibility scores, different reranking methods can be performed to prioritize the images with high accessibilities. In accessibility improvement component, we propose an efficient recoloring algorithm to modify the colors of the images such that they can be better perceived by colorblind users. We also propose the Accessibility Average Precision (AAP) for AIS as a complementary performance evaluation measure to the conventional relevance-based evaluation methods. Experimental results with more than 60,000 images and 20 anonymous colorblind users demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed scheme.
