Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Generalized Probabilistic decision based Neural Network (GPDNN) for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Instead of receiving the numerical values of each data points as the input, the proposed GPDNN models the I/O relationship via the distribution of input data and their corresponding outputs. The GPDNN involves the Multiple-Instance learning techniques to learn a desired concept. A set of exemplar images are selected by a user, each of which is labeled as conceptual related (positive) or conceptual unrelated (negative) image. Then, by using the proposed learning algorithm, an image classification system can learn the user's preferred image class from the positive and negative examples. The experimental results show that for only a few times of relearning, a user can use the prototype system to retrieve favor images from the database.
