Title
A novel methodology for retrieving infographics utilizing structure and message content
Abstract
Information graphics (infographics) in popular media are highly structured knowledge representations that are generally designed to convey an intended message. This paper presents a novel methodology for retrieving infographics from a digital library that takes into account a graphic's structural and message content. The retrieval methodology can be summarized thus: 1) hypothesize requisite structural and message content from a natural language query, 2) measure the relevance of each candidate infographic to the requisite structural and message content hypothesized from the user query, and 3) integrate these relevance measurements via a linear combination model in order to produce a ranked list of infographics in response to the user query. The methodology has been implemented and evaluated, and it significantly outperforms a baseline method that treats queries and graphics as bags of words.
