Abstract

A novel relevance feedback approach to image retrieval, Rich Get Richer (RGR) Strategy, is proposed in this paper. It is based on the general framework of Bayesian inference in statistics. The user's feedback information is propagated into the retrieval process step by step. The more promising images are emphasized by the Rich Get Richer (RGR) Strategy. On the contrary, the less promising ones are de-emphasized. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can capture the user's information need more precisely. By using RGR, the average precision improves from 5 to 20% for each interaction.
