  • INSTANCE-WEIGHTED MIXTURE MODELING TO ENHANCE TRAINING COLLECTIONS FOR IMAGE ANNOTATION
    Publication number: 20140307958
    Abstract: Automatic selection of training images is enhanced using an instance-weighted mixture modeling framework called ARTEMIS. An optimization algorithm is derived that in addition to mixture parameter estimation learns instance-weights, essentially adapting to the noise associated with each example. The mechanism of hypothetical local mapping is evoked so that data in diverse mathematical forms or modalities can be cohesively treated as the system maintains tractability in optimization. Training examples are selected from top-ranked images of a likelihood-based image ranking. Experiments indicate that ARTEMIS exhibits higher resilience to noise than several baselines for large training data collection. The performance of ARTEMIS-trained image annotation system is comparable to using manually curated datasets.
