Consortium AVEIR at ImageCLEFphoto 2008: on the fusion of runs

International audienceIn this working note, we present the submission of the AVEIR consortium, composed of 4 French laboratories, to ImageCLEFphoto 2008. The submitted runs correspond to different fusion strategies applied to four individual ranks, each proposed by an AVEIR consortium partner. In particular, we study the complete, and partial, average of the ranking values, the minimum of these values, and a random based diversification. We first briefly describe the individual run of each partner, then we describe the fusion runs. The official results classed one of the runs, the MEAN fusion, as the third best in the automatic text-image run category. This run gives better results than the best partner run
