Exploring the nature and variants of relevance feedback
Xiang Sean Zhou, Thomas S. Huang · 2002
We analyze the nature of the relevance feedback problem in a continuous representation space in the context of multimedia information retrieval. Emphasis is put on exploring the uniqueness of the problem and comparing the assumptions, implementations, and merits of various solutions in the literature. An attempt is made to compile a list of critical issues to consider when designing a relevance feedback algorithm. With a state-of-the-art review as the main portion, the paper also offers some novel solutions and perspectives throughout the discussion.
