Most of Information Retrieval (IR) systems are still based on bag of word paradigm. This is a strong limitation if one needs high precision answers. For example, in restricted doma...
One current direction to enhance the search accuracy in visual object retrieval is to reformulate the original query through (pseudo-)relevance feedback, which augments a query wi...
In this paper, we report our experiments on the HARD (High Accuracy Retrieval from Documents) Track in TREC 2003. We focus on active feedback, i.e., how to intelligently propose q...
In this paper we present a method to jointly optimise the relevance and the diversity of the results in image retrieval. Without considering diversity, image retrieval systems oft...
