Unt at Imageclef 2010: Clir for Wikipedia Images - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Miguel E. Ruiz, Jiangping Chen, Karthikeyan Pasupathy, Pok Chin and Ryan Knudson.

Overview

This paper presents the results of the team of the University of North Texas in the Wikipedia image retrieval track of Image-CLEF-2010. Authors approach is based on performing translation of the French and German image captions to English and using of Language Models for generating runs. Authors also explore the use of complex queries by asking two users to manually build queries based on the original topics distributed. Authors results indicate that the approach of translating the image captions is feasible and yields results that are quite competitive with other teams that participated in the same track. This paper presents the results of the UNT team participation in the Wikipedia retrieval task. Traditionally, the most common approach to solve the cross language retrieval problem is to perform automatic translation of the user queries into the language of the document to be retrieved. However, in the presence of short queries the automatic translation might not have enough context to generate an appropriate translation. Authors main goal was to explore the efficacy of using the captions associated with the Wikipedia images and providing automatic translations of them in English. Authors also address the effectiveness of using this approach using automatic queries as well as manual queries constructed by real users. Section 2 of this paper presents a short background of the CLIR retrieval problem in image retrieval. Section 3 presents the methods used to conduct experiments. Section 4 presents results and preliminary analysis of results. The last section of this paper presents conclusion and plans for future work.
