Image clustering is an important research topic which contributes to a wide range of applications. Traditional image clustering approaches are based on image content features only, while content...
Exploring Region Correlation and Context Expansion for Image Retrieval (2008)
Xin-jing Wang, Wei-ying Ma, Xing Li
We explore the statistical correlations between homogeneous regions after image segmentation for improving image retrieval performance. Our proposed approach, called Context Expansion, is analogous...
Web-Data Driven Approach for Bridging the Gap between Image Content and Concept (2008)
Xin-jing Wang, Jian-tao Sun, Wei-ying Ma, Xing Li
Abstract. Due to the semantic gap, current content-based image retrieval framework can not satisfy the complex demands created by a user’s preferences and subjectivity. To retrieve images in a...
Xirong Li, Xin-jing Wang, Changhu Wang, Lei Zhang
In this technical demonstration, we showcase the SBIA system – a search-based image annotation system. At the heart of the system lies a very large-scale image search engine which indexed three...
In this paper, we propose a multimodal Web image retrieval technique based on multi-graph enabled active learning. The main goal is to leverage the heterogeneous data on the Web to improve retrieval...
EXPLORING STATISTICAL CORRELATIONS FOR IMAGE RETRIEVAL (2008)
Xin-jing Wang, Wei-ying Ma, Xing Li
Bridging the cognitive gap in image retrieval has been an active research direction in recent years, of which a key challenge is to get enough training data to learn the mapping functions from...
In this paper, we propose a multimodal Web image retrieval technique based on multi-graph enabled active learning. The main goal is to leverage the heterogeneous data on the Web to improve retrieval...
Image Annotation Using Search and Mining Technologies 1 (2008)
Xin-jing Wang, Lei Zhang, Feng Jing, Wei-ying Ma
In this paper, we present a novel solution to the image annotation problem which annotates images using search and data mining technologies. An accurate keyword is required to initialize this...
Storage and Retrieval]: Content Analysis and Indexing – Linguistic processing. (2008)
In this paper, we propose a novel Chinese word segmentation method which leverages the huge deposit of Web documents and search technology. It simultaneously solves ambiguous phrase boundary...

Image clustering is an important research topic which contributes to a wide range of applications. Traditional image clustering approaches are based on image content features only, while content...
Xin-jing Wang, Wei-ying Ma, Gui-rong Xue, Xing Li
In this paper, we propose an iterative similarity propagation approach to explore the inter-relationships between Web images and their textual annotations for image retrieval. By considering Web...
AnnoSearch: Image Auto-Annotation by Search (2006)
Xin-jing Wang, Lei Zhang, Feng Jing, Wei-ying Ma
Although it has been studied for several years by computer vision and machine learning communities, image annotation is still far from practical. In this paper, we present AnnoSearch, a novel way to...
