Abstract

Relevance feekback is a powerful technique to bridge thegap between high-level concepts and low-level features,and has been successfully applied to the field of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) to improve the queryaccuracy in recent years.In this paper, we propose a novel model (iSearch) which predicts user's informationneed based on past retrieval history.Based on theprediction, we then transform the feature space based onthe user's feedback and employ an ExpectationMaximization (EM) approach to simulate the new spaceby a mixture of Gaussian distributions.The experimentalresults show that the proposed method is effective andcaptures the user's information need more precisely.
