Abstract

The availability of relevance feedback is held back by the problem of the imbalance and limited size of labeled training data, as well as the real-time requirement of online interaction demands. In this paper, we propose a relevance feedback algorithm called active biased SVM (BSVM) learning, in which biased classification and active learning are employed to address these difficulties. The algorithm is applied to content-based sketch retrieval (CBSR), and the experiments prove both the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
