IAM@ImageCLEFphoto 2009: Experiments on Maximising Diversity using Image Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the diversity enabled retrieval system constructed at Southampton for the ImageCLEFphoto 2009 task. The retrieval system used Terrier as the underlying textual indexing and retrieval system, and combined it with a technique for re-ranking the results by maximising the visual dissimilarity of retrieved images. The results show that our visual re-ranking methods does indeed work at increasing the diversity in the top results, however, at the same time it causes a slight drop in precision. The text-based approach designed for handling the ‘part 1 topics’ of the task is also shown to perform very well.

Diversity in Photo Retrieval: Overview of the ImageCLEFPhoto Task 2009
The ImageCLEF Photo Retrieval Task 2009 focused on image retrieval and diversity. A new collection was utilised in this task consisting of approximately half a million images with English annotations. Queries were based on analysing search query logs and two different types were released: one containing information about image clusters; the other without. A total of 19 participants submitted 84...

In this paper we describe the approaches adopted to generate the five runs submitted to ImageClefPhoto 2009 by the University of Glasgow. The aim of our methods is to exploit document diversity in the rankings. All our runs used text statistics extracted from the captions associated to each image in the collection, except one run which combines the textual statistics with visual features extrac...

In this paper we describe the approaches adopted to generate the runs submitted to ImageCLEFPhoto 2009 with an aim to promote document diversity in rankings. Four of our runs are text based approaches that employ textual statistics extracted from the captions of images, i.e. MMR [1] as a state of the art method for result diversification, two approaches that combine relevance information and cl...
متن کاملDeveloping a Test Collection to Support Diversity Analysis
Promoting diversity in search has gained much recent interest, however there exists a lack of sufficient benchmarks for evaluation. In this paper, we describe the creation of a new test collection for evaluating diversity in image search. To ensure the creation of a realistic resource, query variations from an image search log were used as the basis for identifying topics that might require a s...
متن کاملWhat Else Is There? Search Diversity Examined
This paper describes a study on diversity in image search results. One of the first test collections explicitly built to study diversity – the ImageCLEFPhoto 2008 collection – was used in an evaluation exercise in the summer of 2008. Analyzing 200 of the runs submitted by 24 research groups enabled the relationship between precision and result diversity to be studied. In addition, the level of ...
