Implementing Relevance Feedback as Convolutions of Local Neighborhoods on Self-Organizing Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Self-Organizing Map (SOM) can be used in implementing relevance feedback in an information retrieval system. In our approach, the map surface is convolved with a window function in order to spread the responses given by a human user for the seen data items. In this paper, a number of window functions with different sizes are compared in spreading positive and negative relevance information on the SOM surfaces in an image retrieval application. In addition, a novel method for incorporating location-dependent information on the relative distances of the map units in the window function is presented.

متن کاملRegion-Based Automated Relevance Feedback in Algae Image Retrieval
In this paper, we present a content based image retrieval system with automatic relevance feedback. The proposed technique is based on color interest points extraction and on the calculation of the local descriptors in interest regions. Global and local features are grouped to feed a two level Self Organizing Maps Network in order to discriminate between retrieved images without user interactio...
متن کاملAdaptation Neighborhoods of Self-Organizing Maps for Image Restoration
Adaptation neighborhoods of self-organizing maps for image restoration are presented in this study. Generally, self-organizing maps have been studied for the ordering process and the convergence phase of weight vectors. As a new approach of self-organizing maps, some methods of adaptation neighborhoods for image restoration are proposed. The present algorithm creates a map containing one unit f...

Self-organizing feature maps with self-determined local neighborhood widths are applied to construct principal manifolds of data distributions. This task exempli es the problem of the learning of learning parameters in neural networks. The proposed algorithm is based upon analytical results on phase transitions in self-organizing feature maps available for idealized situations. By illustrative ...
متن کاملAn Analytical Study on Boundaries of Administrative-defined Neighborhoods Using Residents’ Cognitive Maps (Case study: Mashhad Municipality Neighborhoods, Iran)
The neighborhood has had a long history in Iranian urbanization. Since urban plans wereintroduced by the authorities to shape urban development in Iran half a century ago, the concept of Iranian traditional neighborhood has been neglected gradually. The concept of neighborhood has not found the appropriate status in urban design and planning yet. One of the main reasons is that academics, profe...
