	abstract =	{We propose and evaluate an adaptive approach towards
	content-based image retrieval (CBIR), which is based on the Ostensive
	Model of developing nformation needs. We use ostensive relevance to
	capture the user's current interest and tailor the retrieval
	accordingly. Our approach supports content-assisted browsing, by
	incorporating an adaptive query learning scheme based on implicit
	feedback from the user. Textual and colour features are employed to
	characterise images. Evidence from these features are combined using
	the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence combination. Results from a
	user-centred, task-oriented evaluation show that the ostensive
	interface is preferred over a traditional interface with manual query
	facilities. Its strengths are considered to lie in its ability to adapt
	to the user's need, and its very intuitive and fluid way of
	operation.},
