Abstract

To generate content for multimedia encyclopedias, we propose a method for searching theWeb, seeking images associated with a specific word sense. We use text in an HTML file that links to an image as a pseudo-caption for the image, enabling text-based indexing and retrieval.We use term descriptions in a Web search site called "CYCLONE" as queries and match images and texts based on word senses. We show the effectiveness of our method experimentally.
