Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a visual vocabulary build a plurality of visual words via unsupervised learning on set of features of a given type; decompose one or more visual words to a collection of lower-dimensional buckets; generate labeled image representations based on the collection of lower dimensional buckets and labeled images, wherein labels associated with an image are associated with a respective representation of the image; and iteratively select a sub-collection of buckets from the collection of lower-dimensional buckets based on the labeled image representations, wherein bucket selection during any iteration after an initial iteration is based at least in part on feedback from previously selected buckets.
