Abstract

Active learning with multiple classifiers has shown good performance for concept indexing in images or video shots in the case of highly imbalanced data. It involves however a large number of computations. In this paper, we propose a new incremental active learning algorithm based on multiple SVM for image and video annotation. The experimental result show that the best performance (MAP) is reached when 15-30% of the corpus is annotated and the new method can achieve almost the same precision while saving 50 to 63% of the computation time.
