Multimedia Retrieval Using Multiple Examples,
In Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Image
and Video Retrieval (CIVR 2004),
Dublin, Ireland, No. 3115 in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pp. 344-352, Springer-Verlag, July 21-23 2004.This paper presents a variant of our generative probabilistic multimedia retrieval model. Evaluation on the TRECVID 2003 collection shows the new variant, a document generation approach, is suitable for information needs with multiple examples. Moreover, in combination with textual information, the new variant outperforms the original one.
