Fusing Multi-type Features with Distance Metric Learning for Social Image Application

Published: 10 July 2014 Publication History

Abstract

One of the key problems of image retrieval and classification is how to measure the distance between any two social images. However, unlike traditional images, social images usually contain multi-types of features (e.g., visual content, textual description, users' social relation information, etc.). In this paper, we propose to integrate textual description and user's social information for distance metric learning of social image. To effectively using social knowledge found from social images, we proposed a novel distance metric learning scheme, which not only exploits both visual and textual contents of social images, but also integrates user information into the learning framework. By applying the proposed technique to the image retrieval and classification tasks in our experiments, the superiority of our proposed approach over state-of-the-art approaches is demonstrated.
