چکیده
In this paper we combine computer vision and data mining techniques to model high-level concepts for image retrieval, on the basis of basic perceptual features of the human visual system. High-level concepts related to these features are learned and represented by means of a set of fuzzy association rules. The concepts so acquired can be used for image retrieval with the advantage that it is not needed to provide an image as a query. Instead, a query is formulated by using the labels that identify the learned concepts as search terms, and the retrieval process calculates the relevance of an image to the query by an inference mechanism. An additional feature of our methodology is that it can capture user s subjectivity. For that purpose, fuzzy sets theory is employed to measure user s assessments about the fulfillment of a concept by an image. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A task-oriented study on the influencing effects of query-biased summarisation in web searching
The aim of the work described in this paper is to evaluate the influencing effects of query-biased summaries in web searching. For this purpose, a summarisation system has been developed, and a summary tailored to the user s query is generated automatically for each document retrieved. The system aims to provide both a better means of assessing document relevance than titles or abstracts typica...

Results were judged for relevance by independent assessors. Online news s...
متن کاملConstruction of weak and strong similarity measures for ordered sets of documents using fuzzy set techniques
Ordered sets of documents are encountered more and more in information distribution systems, such as information retrieval systems (IRS). Classical similarity measures for ordinary sets of documents hence need to be extended to these ordered sets. This is done in this paper using fuzzy set techniques. First a general similarity measure is developed which contains the classical strong similarity...
