Description
Summary:The authors present an online semantics preserving, metric learning technique for improving the bag-of-words model and addressing the semantic-gap issue. This article investigates the challenge of reducing the semantic gap for building BoW models for image representation; propose a novel OSPML algorithm for enhancing BoW by minimizing the semantic loss, which is efficient and scalable for enhancing BoW models for large-scale applications; apply the proposed technique for large-scale image annotation and object recognition; and compare it to the state of the art.
