Hierarchical Content Description and Object Formation by
Learning,

This paper proposes a hierarchical representation scheme and a heirarchical content matching technique that provide a learning mechanism for effective and efficient retrieval from user profiles and search patterns. The proposed representation also, together with a low level image analysis procedure, enables automatic analysis of images into meaningful objects for object based content description. Experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed representation scheme, the hierarchical matching technique and the learning concept.
