A Visual Information Retrieval System
, 2000
"... This paper describes a tool that will use image templates as search queries instead of conventional searching using keywords. The project tries to automate searching with use of a visually oriented interface. Lastly, part of the goals of the paper is to study, select, and use relevant visual informa ..."

Distributed contentbased visual information retrieval system on peer-topeer networks
- ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS
, 2004
"... With the recent advances of distributed computing, the limitation of information retrieval from a centralized image collection can be removed by allowing distributed image data sources to interact with each other for data storage sharing and information retrieval. In this article, we present our des ..."

design and implementation of DISCOVIR: DIStributed COntent-based Visual Information Retrieval system using the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network. We describe the system architecture and detail the interactions among various system modules. Specifically, we propose a Firework Query Model for distributed
1 User modelling and adaptivity in visual information retrieval systems
"... This paper proposes suitable characteristics of an ideal Visual Information Retrieval (VIR) system. The central role of user modelling in such a system is discussed. Approaches to the automated analysis of images in image retrieval systems are considered. A preliminary sketch of the model is then pr ..."

All-visual retrieval: How people search and respond to an affect-driven visual information retrieval system
"... ABSTRACT The design of information retrieval (IR) systems must respond to the goals, intentionality and prior domain knowledge of the users. During focus groups conducted, end users complained that instead of looking for specificitems, they might be interested in a spectrum of conceptsall things re ..."

related to something or all things of a particular color. To respond to these needs, an entirely visuals-driven information retrieval system project was developed using a test-bed of copyright-free images reflecting monographs, graphics, and work collections. In the absence of such IR systems, not much
Formal Ontology and Information Systems
, 1998
"... Research on ontology is becoming increasingly widespread in the computer science community, and its importance is being recognized in a multiplicity of research fields and application areas, including knowledge engineering, database design and integration, information retrieval and extraction. We sh ..."

Freenet: A Distributed Anonymous Information Storage and Retrieval System
- INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON DESIGNING PRIVACY ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES: DESIGN ISSUES IN ANONYMITY AND UNOBSERVABILITY
, 2001
"... We describe Freenet, an adaptive peer-to-peer network application that permits the publication, replication, and retrieval of data while protecting the anonymity of both authors and readers. Freenet operates as a network of identical nodes that collectively pool their storage space to store data ..."

Visual Information Seeking: Tight Coupling of Dynamic Query Filters with Starfield Displays
, 1994
"... This paper offers new principles for visual information seeking (VIS). A key concept is to support browsing, which is distinguished from familiar query composition and information retrieval because of its emphasis on rapid filtering to reduce result sets, progressive refinement of search parameters, ..."

VisualSEEk: a fully automated content-based image query system
, 1996
"... We describe a highly functional prototype system for searching by visual features in an image database. The VisualSEEk system is novel in that the user forms the queries by diagramming spatial arrangements of color regions. The system finds the images that contain the most similar arrangements of ..."

Improving retrieval performance by relevance feedback
- Journal of the American Society for Information Science
, 1990
"... Relevance feedback is an automatic process, introduced over 20 years ago, designed to produce improved query formulations following an initial retrieval operation. The principal relevance feedback methods described over the years are examined briefly, and evaluation data are included to demonstrate ..."

Introduction to Relevance Feedback It is well known that the original query formulation process is not transparent to most information system users. In particular
