    Automatic multimedia cross-modal correlation discovery
    (ACM, 2004-08) Pan, J.-Y.; Yang, H.-J.; Faloutsos, C.; Duygulu, Pınar
    Given an image (or video clip, or audio song), how do we automatically assign keywords to it? The general problem is to find correlations across the media in a collection of multimedia objects like video clips, with colors, and/or motion, and/or audio, and/or text scripts. We propose a novel, graph-based approach, "MMG", to discover such cross-modal correlations. Our "MMG" method requires no tuning, no clustering, no user-determined constants; it can be applied to any multi-media collection, as long as we have a similarity function for each medium; and it scales linearly with the database size. We report auto-captioning experiments on the "standard" Corel image database of 680 MB, where it outperforms domain specific, fine-tuned methods by up to 10 percentage points in captioning accuracy (50% relative improvement).
