Abstract

In this paper we introduce a novel interactive video retrieval approach which uses sub-needs of an information need for querying and organising the search process. The underlying assumption of this approach is that the search effectiveness will be enhanced when employed for interactive video retrieval. We explore the performance bounds of a faceted system by using the simulated user evaluation methodology on TRECVID data sets and also on the logs of a prior user experiment with the system. We discuss the simulated evaluation strategies employed in our evaluation and the effect on the use of both textual and visual features. The facets are simulated by the use of clustering the video shots using textual and visual features. The experimental results of our study demonstrate that the faceted browser can potentially improve the search effectiveness.
