	abstract =	{This article describes an approach to learn feature
	weights for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) from user interaction
	log files. These usage log files are analyzed for images marked
	together in the same query step. The problem is somewhat similar to one
	of the traditional data mining problems, the market basket analysis
	problem, where items bought together in a supermarket are analyzed.
	This paper outlines similarities and differences between the two fields
	and explains how to use the interaction data for deriving a better
	feature weighting.  Experiments with existing log files are done and a
	significant improvement in performance is reached with a feature
	weighting calculated from the information contained in the log files.
	Even with several steps of relevance feedback the results remain much
	better than without the learning, which means that not only information
	from feedback is taken into account earlier, but a better quality of
	retrieval is reached in all steps.},
