چکیده
This paper discusses the role of the user in Content Based Image Retrieval Systems. The main goal of the paper is to discuss potential reason for why there is a seeming lack of focus on the human in a large part of current CBIR research and literature. Using computer science as a backdrop, we discuss the traditions and standards that have influenced CBIR research. Some potential explanations for the observed lack of user focus are discussed. Finally some possible benefits of an increased user focus are presented. The paper is written as a part of the Philosophy of Science Course at the faculty of Social Sciences, University of Bergen.
