Image search reranking with multi-latent topical graph

Image search reranking has attracted extensive attention. However, existing image reranking approaches deal with different features independently while ignoring the latent topics among them. It is important to mine multi-latent topic from the features to solve the image search reranking problem. In this paper, we propose a new image reranking model, named reranking with multi-latent topical graph (RMTG), which not only exploits the explicit information of local and global features, but also mines multi-latent topic from these features. We evaluate RMTG over the MSRA-MM dataset and show that RMTG outperforms several existing reranking methods.
