Abstract

While much progress is being made in mobile visual search, most efforts are on how to improve search performance (precision, recall, speed) given queries. How to help the user form a good query has generally left unexplored. Successful mobile search should keep users in the loop and have the machine and user work closely as a team to solve the difficult problem - user provide fast feedback on the fly and machine does the data intensive analysis. Therefore, helping the user to form a good query has a great potential in improving the search performance. We describe a novel framework, Active Query Sensing, to provide interactive query formulation solutions for mobile location search. We also discuss new research directions addressing the important open issues of interactive query formulation for mobile visual search.
