Inaccurate or ambiguous expressions in queries lead to poor results in information retrieval. We assume that iterative user feedback can improve the quality of queries. To this end...

Abstract. Peer-to-Peer networks are comprised of multiple independently administered computers (peers) that cooperate via a common protocol in order to achieve a goal common to the...
Abstract. Evaluation is crucial for the success of most research domains, and image retrieval is no exception to this. Recently, several benchmarks have been developed for visual i...
In this paper we describe an interactive guide that is able to automatically retrieve information about objects on display in museums. A visitor can point this mobile device at exh...
An original task of structuring and labeling large television streams is tackled in this paper. Emphasis is put on simple and efficient methods to detect precise boundaries of prog...
Most of the currently existing image retrieval systems make use of either low-level features or semantic (textual) annotations. A combined usage during annotation and retrieval is ...
This work presents a discriminative model for the retrieval of pictures from text queries. The core idea of this approach is to minimize a loss directly related to the retrieval pe...
A novel and general criterion for image similarity validation is introduced using the so-called a contrario decision framework. It is mathematically proved that it is possible to c...
