Abstract

We describe an online application that allows users to provide similarity judgements whilst browsing a collection of 60,000 photographs. One immediate goal is to modify the initial browsing structure in response to the feedback. We thus suggest a long-term relevance feedback technique that integrates user information over multiple sessions. The principal role of the system, however, is that of a tool for acquiring a rich dataset of similarity relationships between images which we plan to make available to the community and which can be used for training and evaluation purposes. Two particular ways of how to use the data will be described in detail.
