Abstract
This paper presents techniques for retrieving photos from personal memories collections using generic concepts that the users specify. It is part of a larger project for capturing, storing, and retrieving personal memories in different contexts of use. Semantic concepts are obtained by training binary classifiers using the Regularized Least Squares Classifier (RLSC)and can be combined to express more complex concepts. The results that were obtained so far are quite good and by adding more low level features, better results are possible. The paper describes the proposed approach, the classifier and features, and the results that were obtained.
