UPMC/LIP6 at ImageCLEFannotation 2010

In this paper, we present the LIP6 annotation models for the ImageCLEFannotation 2010 task. We study two methods to train and merge the results of different classifiers in order to improve annota- tion. In particular, we propose a multiview learning model based on a RankingSVM. We also consider the use of the tags matching the visual concept names to improve the scores predicted by the models. The ex- periments show the difficulty of merging several classifiers and also the interest to have a robust model able to merge relevant information. Our method using tags always improves the results.
