Rapid and brief communication Active learning for image retrieval with Co-SVM Abstract In relevance feedback algorithms, selective sampling is often used to reduce the cost of labeling and explore the unlabeled data. In this paper, we proposed an active learning algorithm, Co-SVM, to improve the performance of selective sampling in image retrieval. In Co-SVM algorithm, color and texture are naturally considered as sufficient and uncorrelated views of an image. SVM classifiers are learned in color and texture feature subspaces, respectively. Then the two classifiers are used to classify the unlabeled data. These unlabeled samples which are differently classified by the two classifiers are chose to label. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is beneficial to image retrieval. 1. Introduction Relevance feedback is an important approach to improve the performance of image retrieval systems [1]. For largescale image database retrieval problem, labeled images are always rare compared with unlabeled images. It has become a hot topic how to utilize the large amounts of unlabeled images to augment the performance of the learning algorithms when only a small set of labeled images is available. Tong and Chang proposed an active learning paradigm, named SVMAct ive [2]. They think that the samples lying beside the boundary are the most informative. Therefore, in each round of relevance feedback, the images that are closest to the support vector boundary are returned to users for labeling. Usually, the feature representation of an image is a combination of diverse features, such as color, texture, shape, etc. For a specified example, the contribution of different features is significantly different. On the other hand, the importance of the same feature is also different for differentsamples. For example, color is often more prominent than shape for a landscape image. However, the retrieval results are the averaging effort of all features, which ignores the d
