Online DEMO of ACM Multimedia 2009 is available: ViewFocus

NUS-WIDE image dataset is released: NUS-WIDE

I am a third year Master student with B.Eng degree of South China University of Technology(SCUT), meanwhile I am a research intern of LMS (Lab for Media Search), NUS (National University of Singapore), advised by Prof. Chua Tat-Seng.

1. We face challenges of large-scale context-aware image/video retrieval. Parallel computing eara? Scalable indexing and distribution systems?


2. Which views of world's places can we mine from the vast amount noisy Internet multimedia? Beyond Google Earth by providing multi-view browsing of landmarks.


3. How will we mine patterns for machine learning ways? The issues about generating featuers.

1. Participated in the NUS-WIDE project to develop the image annotation tool for overall 26W Flickr images' labeling. This tool, namely NUS-LabelMe, aims to reduce the labor efforts for image annotation. Developed a modified active learning algorithm to be implanted in that tool and then the tool can automatically find the top semantic relevant images out of unlabeled images. To find those images only needs few images annotated for a concept.


2. Worked out several methods to process the overall 26W Flickr images associated with text tags. Those methods include stop word removal using WordNet, spelling check using Google Search, compute Google Distance using Google Image Search, approximate nearest neighbors (ANN) algorithm for training with six kinds of image features.


3. Proposed a method to find the precise photos with respect to a place by view direction filtering on Google Maps. Developed a novel system named ViewFocus based on the method. This system lets users view world's places with more precise photos.


4. Worked out several dimensionality reduction algorithms to adaress the high-dimensional, undersampled problems in fields of data mining, machine learning and computer vision. Different to others, ours can effectively see thenonlinear manifolds in the raw data space, and preserve the data structure in the reduced space well.

Web-Scale Multimedia Corpus Construction

1. We created a web image dataset, the dataset includes 269,648 images and the associated tags from Flickr, with a total number of 5018 unique tags; six-low-level features extracted from these images; ground-truth for 81 concepts that can be used for evaluation; a baseline results for web image annotation by learning the tags using the traditional k-NN algorithm.

WAP 2.0 portal of Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center, this work is supported by National 973 Project (G20000263), P.R.China
