Personalized image annotation via class-specific cross-domain learning

作者:

Highlights:

• ●We present a class-specific weighted nearest neighbour (cs-WNN) model for generic image annotation by directly maximizing the log-likelihood of class-specific tag predictions.●Class-specific modeling and multiple kernel learning are integrated to exploit the nonlinearity of features in the visual space of each tag.●We present a novel personalization method, namely class-specific cross-domain learning (cs-CDL), to build users’ own annotation profiles that correspond to the user-specific parameters of cs-WNN models.●The effectiveness of our proposed method has been validated on three standard datasets and two new generated datasets.
