This paper attempts to discuss the evolution of the retrieval approaches focusing on development, challenges and future direction of the image retrieval. It highlights both the already addressed and outstanding issues. The explosive growth of image data leads to the need of research and development of Image Retrieval. However, Image retrieval researches are moving from keyword, to low level features and to semantic features. Drive towards semantic features is due to the problem of the keywords which can be very subjective and time consuming while low level features cannot always describe high level concepts in the users mind. Hence, introducing an interpretation inconsistency between image descriptors and high level semantics that known as the semantic gap. This paper also discusses the semantic gap issues, user query mechanisms as well as common ways used to bridge the gap in image retrieval.

Podcasts are spoken documents across a wide-range of genres and styles, with growing listenership across the world, and a rapidly lowering barrier to entry for both listeners and creators. The great strides in search and recommendation in research and industry have yet to see impact in the podcast space, where recommendations are still largely driven by word of mouth. In this perspective paper, we highlight the many differences between podcasts and other media, and discuss our perspective on challenges and future research directions in the domain of podcast information access.
Most of our lives are conducted in the cyberspace. The human notion of privacy translates into a cyber notion of privacy on many functions that take place in the cyberspace. This article focuses on three such functions: how to privately retrieve information from cyberspace (privacy in information retrieval), how to privately leverage large-scale distributed/parallel processing (privacy in distributed computing), and how to learn/train machine learning models from private data spread across multiple users (privacy in distributed (federated) learning). The article motivates each privacy setting, describes the problem formulation, summarizes breakthrough results in the history of each problem, and gives recent results and discusses some of the major ideas that emerged in each field. In addition, the cross-cutting techniques and interconnections between the three topics are discussed along with a set of open problems and challenges.
This article gives a survey for bag-of-words (BoW) or bag-of-features model in image retrieval system. In recent years, large-scale image retrieval shows significant potential in both industry applications and research problems. As local descriptors like SIFT demonstrate great discriminative power in solving vision problems like object recognition, image classification and annotation, more and more state-of-the-art large scale image retrieval systems are trying to rely on them. A common way to achieve this is first quantizing local descriptors into visual words, and then applying scalable textual indexing and retrieval schemes. We call this model as bag-of-words or bag-of-features model. The goal of this survey is to give an overview of this model and introduce different strategies when building the system based on this model.
The usefulness evaluation model proposed by Cole et al. in 2009 [2] focuses on the evaluation of interactive IR systems by their support towards the users overall goal, sub goals and tasks. This is a more human focus of the IR evaluation process than with classical TREC-oriented studies and gives a more holistic view on the IR evaluation process. However, yet there is no formal framework how the usefulness model can be operationalized. Additionally, a lot of information needed for the operationalization is only available in explicit user studies where for example the overall goal and the tasks are prompted from the users or are predefined. Measuring the usefulness of IR systems outside the laboratory is a challenging task as most often only log data of user interaction is available. But, an operationalization of the usefulness model based on interaction data could be applied to diverse systems and evaluation results would be comparable. In this article we discuss the challenges for measuring the usefulness of IIR systems with log-based approaches.
Image retrieval based on deep convolutional features has demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in popular benchmarks. In this paper, we present a unified solution to address deep convolutional feature aggregation and image re-ranking by simulating the dynamics of heat diffusion. A distinctive problem in image retrieval is that repetitive or emph{bursty} features tend to dominate final image representations, resulting in representations less distinguishable. We show that by considering each deep feature as a heat source, our unsupervised aggregation method is able to avoid over-representation of emph{bursty} features. We additionally provide a practical solution for the proposed aggregation method and further show the efficiency of our method in experimental evaluation. Inspired by the aforementioned deep feature aggregation method, we also propose a method to re-rank a number of top ranked images for a given query image by considering the query as the heat source. Finally, we extensively evaluate the proposed approach with pre-trained and fine-tuned deep networks on common public benchmarks and show superior performance compared to previous work.
