Modeling the Intransitive Pairwise Image Preference from Multiple Angles
Jun Chen, Chaokun Wang, Jianmin Wang · 2017
Among the previous studies in modeling users' preference on images, most of them assume there is a consistent ranking of images, and users' preference is transitive. That is, if a user likes image A over B and B over C, it must have A over C for this user. This condition holds when user compares images from a single angle. However, if there are multiple angles to consider, users' preference may not be transitive at all. Thus, it is interesting to know whether users' pairwise preference on images can be intransitive, and how can such personalized intransitivity be modeled.
