Información Lingüística en Recuperación de Imágenes Multilingüe Linguistic Information in Multilingual Image Retrieval

In this paper we evaluate several indexing models and the application of different Natural Language Processing techniques to textual descriptions associated with images in an Image Retrieval task. The results show that the use of a translation-based model and to take into account the Named Entities with their categories, improves the retrieval process. However, the improvement obtained with the use of noun phrases is not worth the computational cost involved.
