A Locality Sensitive Low-Rank Model for Image Tag Completion

Abstract

Many visual applications have benefited from the outburst of web images, yet the imprecise and incomplete tags arbitrarily provided by users, as the thorn of the rose, may hamper the performance of retrieval or indexing systems relying on such data. In this paper, we propose a novel locality sensitivelow-rank model for image tag completion, which approximates the global nonlinear model with a collection of local linear models. To effectively infuse the idea of locality sensitivity, a simple and effective pre-processing module is designed to learn suitable representation for data partition, and a global consensus regularizer is introduced to mitigate the risk of overfitting. Meanwhile, low-rank matrix factorization is employed as local models, where the local geometry structures are preserved for thelow-dimensional representation of both tags and samples. Extensive empirical evaluations conducted on three datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method, where our method outperforms pervious ones by a large margin.
