Cross-media information retrieval; Multi-modal information retrieval
Definition
Multimedia information retrieval tries to find the distinctive multimedia documents that satisfy people’s needs within a huge dataset. Due to the vagueness on the representation of multimedia data, usually the user may only have some clues (e.g., a vague idea, a rough query object of the same or even different modality as that of the intended result) rather than concrete and indicative query objects. In such cases, traditional multimedia information retrieval techniques as Query-By-Example (QBE) fails to retrieve what users really want since their performance depends on a set of specifically defined features and carefully chosen query objects. The cross-modal multimedia information retrieval (CMIR) framework consists of a novel multifaceted knowledge base (which is embodied by a layered graph model) to discover the query results on multiple modalities. Such cross-modality paradigm leads to better...
