Abstract

Concept learning in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems isa challenging task. This paper presents an active concept learningapproach based on mixture model to deal with the two basic aspectsof a database system: changing (image insertion or removal) natureof a database and user queries. To achieve concept learning, wedevelop a novel model selection method based on Bayesian analysisthat evaluates the consistency of hypothesized models with theavailable information. The analysis of exploitation vs. explorationin the search space helps to find optimal model efficiently.Experimental results on Corel database show the efficacy of ourapproach.
