Abstract

Manifold learning has become a hot research topic in recent years and is widely used in the area of dimension reduction, information retrieval and ranking, etc. However, how to reconstruct the intrinsic manifold from the observed data points, i.e. what is the proper data point distance measure, is still an open problem. In this paper, we propose to take advantages of the information provided by web-pages and the image-related website link structure to learn the Web image manifold, which better approaches to the intrinsic manifold than those learned by previous methods which use Euclidean alike distances to construct the initial affinity matrix. Experimental results prove the effectiveness of our learned Web image manifold.

This work is done when Xin-Jing Wang is an intern in Microsoft Research Asia.
