abstract = {Benchmarking has always been a crucial problem in content-based image
	retrieval (CBIR). A key issue is the lack of a common access method
	to retrieval systems, such as SQL for relational databases. The Multimedia
	Retrieval Mark-up Language (MRML) solves this problem by standardizing
	access to CBIR systems (CBIRSs). Other difficult problems are also
	shortly addressed, such as obtaining relevance judgments and choosing
	a database for performance comparison. In this article we present
	a fully automated benchmark for CBIRSs based on MRML, which can be
	adapted to any image database and almost any kind of relevance judgment.
	The test evaluates the performance of positive and negative relevance
	feedback, which can be generated automatically from the relevance
	judgments. To illustrate our purpose, a freely available, non-copyright
	image collection is used to evaluate our CBIRS, \emph{Viper}. All
	scripts described here are also freely available for download.},

abstract = {This article describes a framework for distributed multimedia retrieval
	which permits the connection of compliant user interfaces with a
	variety of multimedia retrieval engines via an open communication
	protocol, MRML (Multi Media Retrieval Markup Language). It allows
	the choice of image collection, feature set and query algorithm during
	run--time, permitting multiple users to query a system adapted to
	their needs, using the query paradigm adapted to their problem such
	as query by example (QBE), browsing queries, or query by annotation.
	User interaction is implemented over several levels and in diverse
	ways. Relevance feedback is implemented using positive and negative
	example images that can be used for a best--match QBE query. In contrast,
	browsing methods try to ap proach the searched image by giving overviews
	of the entire collection and by successive refinements. In addition
	to these query methods, Long term off line learning is implemented.
	It allows feature preferences per user, user domain or over all users
	to be learned automatically. We present the Viper multimedia retrieval
	system as the core of the framework and an example of an MRML-compliant
	search engine. Viper uses techniques adapted from traditional information
	retrieval (IR) to retrieve multimedia documents, thus benefiting
	from the many years of IR research. As a result, textual and visual
	features are treated in the same way, facilitating true multimedia
	retrieval. The MRML protocol also allows other applications to make
	use of the search engi nes. This can for example be used for the
	design of a benchmark test suite, querying several search engines
	in the same way and comparing the results. This is motivated by the
	fact that the content--based image retrieval community really lacks
	such a benchmark as it already exists in text retrieval.},

	about the importance of features from analyzing user log files of
	a content-based image retrieval system (CBIRS). The user log files
	of the usage of the Viper web demonstration system are analyzed over
	a period of four months. In this time about 3500 accesses to the
	system were made with 800 multiple image queries. The analysis only
	takes into account multiple image queries of the system with positive
	or negative input images, because only these queries contain enough
	information for the method described in the paper. Features frequently
	present in images marked together positively in the same query step
	get a higher weighting whereas features present in an image marked
	positively and another image marked negatively in the same step get
	a lower weighting. The Viper system offers a very large number of
	simple features which allows the creation of feature weightings with
	high values for important and low values for less important features.
	These weightings for features can of course differ for several collections
	and as well for several users. The results are evaluated using the
	relevance judgments of real users and compared to the system without
	the long-term learning.},

	time is a very important factor for the usability of an interactive
	system, especially on the world wide web. In particular, response
	times of under one second are often specified as a usability requirement

	evaluation time in a content-based image retrieval system (CBIRS)
	which uses inverted file technology. The use of the inverted file
	technology facilitates search pruning in a variety of ways, as is
	shown in this paper. For large databases ($> 2000$ images) and a
	high number of possible features ($> 80000$), efficient and fast
	access is necessary to allow interactive querying and browsing. Parallel
	access to the inverted file can reduce the response time. This parallel
	access is very easy to implement with little communication overhead,
	and thus scales well. Other search pruning methods, similar to methods
	used in information retrieval, can also reduce the response time
	significantly without reducing the performance of the system. The
	performance of the system is evaluated using precision vs. recall
	graphs, which are an established evaluation method in information

abstract = {It has been widely recognised that the difference between the level
	of abstraction of the formulation of a query (by example) and that
	of the desired result (usually an image with certain semantics) calls
	for the use of learning methods that try to bridge this gap. Cox
	\emph{et al.}~have proposed a Bayesian method to learn the user's
	preferences during each query. Cox \emph{et al.}\'s system, \texttt{PicHunter},
	is designed for optimal performance when the user is searching for
	a fixed target image. The performance of the system was evaluated
	using target testing, which ranks systems according to the number
	of interaction steps required to find the target, leading to simple,
	easily reproducible experiments. There are some aspects of image
	retrieval, however, which are not captured by this measure. In particular,
	the possibility of query drift (i.e.~a moving target) is completely
	ignored. The algorithm proposed by Cox \emph{et al.}~does not cope
	well with a change of target at a late query stage, because it is
	assumed that user feedback is noisy, but consistent. In the case
	of a moving target, however, the feedback is noisy \emph{and} inconsistent
	with earlier feedback. In this paper we propose an enhanced Bayesian
	scheme which selectively forgets inconsistent user feedback, thus
	enabling both the program and the user to ``change their minds''.
	The effectiveness of this scheme is demonstrated in moving target
	tests on a database of heterogeneous real-world images.},

	Factor analysis techniques, such as Principal Components Analysis,
	have been proposed as means of reducing the dimensionality of the

	a transformation which is applied to vectors of image features to
	produce vectors of lower dimensionality which still characterize
	the original data well. Computing such transformations for very large
	numbers of images is computationally expensive, especially if this
	calculation must be repeated each time new images are added to the
	database. It is to be hoped, therefore, that a transformation computed
	using a subset of all possible images will perform well when applied
	to images not used in its derivation. To evaluate this generalization
	ability, we measure the agreement between partitionings of image
	sets computed using such transformations with those produced by human

abstract = {In this paper we employ human judgments of image similarity to improve
	the organization of an image database. We first derive a statistic,
	$\kappa_B$ which measures the agreement between two partitionings
	of an image set. $\kappa_B$ is used to assess agreement both amongst
	and between human and machine partitionings. This provides a rigorous
	means of choosing between competing image database organization systems,
	and of assessing the performance of such systems with respect to
	human judgments. Human partitionings of an image set are used to
	define an similarity value based on the frequency with which images
	are judged to be similar. When this measure is used to partition
	an image set using a clustering technique, the resultant partitioning
	agrees better with human partitionings than any of the feature-space-based
	techniques investigated. Finally, we investigate the use multilayer
	perceptrons and a \emph{Distance Learning Network} to learn a mapping
	from feature space to this perceptual similarity space. The Distance
	Learning Network is shown to learn a mapping which results in partitionings
	in excellent agreement with those produced by human subjects.},

	significantly, as measured by precision and recall, for all users.},

	can be characterized by low-level features, without further abstraction.
	This assumes that agreement between machine and human measures of
	similarity is sufficient for the database to be useful. To assess
	this assumption, we develop measures of the agreement between partitionings
	of an image set, showing that chance agreements \emph{must} be considered.
	These measures are used to assess the agreement between human subjects
	and several machine clustering techniques on an image set. The results
	can be used to select and refine distance measures for querying and
	organizing image databases.},

	We then use the results of experiments in which human subjects are

	a similarity measure for pairs of images based on the frequency with
	which they were judged to be similar. We show that, when this measure
