Building a Diversity Featured Search System by Fusing Existing Tools

This paper describes our diversity featured retrieval system which are built for the task of ImageCLEFPhoto 2008. Two existing tools are used: Solr and Carrot2 . We have experimented with different settings of the system to see how the performance changes. The results suggest that the system can indeed increase diversity of the retrieved results and keep the precision about the same.
