An Integrated Multimedia System with Learning Capabilities

This paper describes the main features of the multimedia information retrieval engine of Quicklook. Quicklook allows the user to query image and multimedia databases with the aid of sample images, or a user-made sketch and/or textual descriptions, and progressively refine the system's response by indicating the relevance, or non-relevance of the retrieved items. The performance of the system is illustrated with examples from various application domains.
