With our work on the influenceof dependencies between modalities and features we investigate whythese approaches still do not perform convincingly better than plaintext search approaches when applied to large, noisy collections likeweb content, even though these approaches have more information attheir hands. This article suggests that, due to the size and noise,the modality’s dependencies necessary for efficient information fusionbecomes small and hard to exploit. Preliminary experiments with twomulti modal collections underpin this statement.* }, url = { http://viper.unige.ch/documents/pdf/kludas2007-fdia.pdf }, }
