A Comprehensive Review on Multimedia Retrieval Techniques
Abstract: With the prevalence of sight and sound advancements and web mediums, client can't fulfil with the customarey techniques for data retrieval systems. On account of this, the substance based picture recovery is turning into another and quick strategy for data recovery. Substance based picture recovery is the system for recovering the information especially pictures from a wide gathering of databases. The recovery is careried out by utilizing highlights. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a system to compose the wide mixture of pictures by their visual highlight. Feature based recovery or retrieval procedures aree accessible for recovering the pictures, in our review we aree investigating them. In our first segment, we aree tending towareds a few nuts and bolts of a specific CBIR framework with that we have demonstrated some fundamental highlights of any picture, these aree similare to shape, surface, shading and indicated diverse systems to compute them. We have also demonstrated diverse separeation measuring systems utilized for closeness estimation of any picture furthermore talked about indexing methods. At last conclusion and future degree is examined.

Next Generation of Product Search and Discovery
Online shopping has become an important part of peopleâs daily life with the rapid development of e-commerce. In some domains such as books, electronics, and CD/DVDs, online shopping has surpassed or even replaced the traditional shopping method. Compared with traditional retailing, e-commerce is information intensive. One of the key factors to succeed in e-business is how to facilitate the consumersâ approaches to discover a product. Conventionally a product search engine based on a keyword search or category browser is provided to help users find the product information they need. The general goal of a product search system is to enable users to quickly locate information of interest and to minimize usersâ efforts in search and navigation. In this process human factors play a significant role. Finding product information could be a tricky task and may require an intelligent use of search engines, and a non-trivial navigation of multilayer categories. Searching for useful product information can be frustrating for many users, especially those inexperienced users.
This dissertation focuses on developing a new visual product search system that effectively extracts the properties of unstructured products, and presents the possible items of attraction to users so that the users can quickly locate the ones they would be most likely interested in. We designed and developed a feature extraction algorithm that retains product color and local pattern features, and the experimental evaluation on the benchmark dataset demonstrated that it is robust against common geometric and photometric visual distortions. Besides, instead of ignoring product text information, we investigated and developed a ranking model learned via a unified probabilistic hypergraph that is capable of capturing correlations among product visual content and textual content. Moreover, we proposed and designed a fuzzy hierarchical co-clustering algorithm for the collaborative filtering product recommendation. Via this method, users can be automatically grouped into different interest communities based on their behaviors. Then, a customized recommendation can be performed according to these implicitly detected relations. In summary, the developed search system performs much better in a visual unstructured product search when compared with state-of-art approaches. With the comprehensive ranking scheme and the collaborative filtering recommendation module, the userâs overhead in locating the information of value is reduced, and the userâs experience of seeking for useful product information is optimized
Joint Modeling of Topics, Citations, and Topical Authority in Academic Corpora
Much of scientific progress stems from previously published findings, but
searching through the vast sea of scientific publications is difficult. We
often rely on metrics of scholarly authority to find the prominent authors but
these authority indices do not differentiate authority based on research
topics. We present Latent Topical-Authority Indexing (LTAI) for jointly
modeling the topics, citations, and topical authority in a corpus of academic
papers. Compared to previous models, LTAI differs in two main aspects. First,
it explicitly models the generative process of the citations, rather than
treating the citations as given. Second, it models each author's influence on
citations of a paper based on the topics of the cited papers, as well as the
citing papers. We fit LTAI to four academic corpora: CORA, Arxiv Physics, PNAS,
and Citeseer. We compare the performance of LTAI against various baselines,
starting with the latent Dirichlet allocation, to the more advanced models
including author-link topic model and dynamic author citation topic model. The
results show that LTAI achieves improved accuracy over other similar models
when predicting words, citations and authors of publications.Comment: Accepted by Transactions of the Association for Computational

Graph Spectral Image Processing
Recent advent of graph signal processing (GSP) has spurred intensive studies
of signals that live naturally on irregular data kernels described by graphs
(e.g., social networks, wireless sensor networks). Though a digital image
contains pixels that reside on a regularly sampled 2D grid, if one can design
an appropriate underlying graph connecting pixels with weights that reflect the
image structure, then one can interpret the image (or image patch) as a signal
on a graph, and apply GSP tools for processing and analysis of the signal in
graph spectral domain. In this article, we overview recent graph spectral
techniques in GSP specifically for image / video processing. The topics covered
include image compression, image restoration, image filtering and image
segmentation
