Abstract
Interactive image search or relevance feedback is the
process which helps a user refining his query and finding
difficult target categories. This consists in partially labeling
a very small fraction of an image database and iteratively
refining a decision rule using both the labeled and unla-
beled data. Training of this decision rule is referred to as
transductive learning.
Our work is an original approach for relevance feed-
back based on Graph Laplacian. We introduce a new Graph
Laplacian which makes it possible to robustly learn the em-
