SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CASCADING IMAGE CLUSTERING USING DISTRIBUTION OVER AUTO-GENERATED LABELS

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system that can be used to classify a feedback image in a user review into a semantically meaningful class. During operation, the system analyzes the captions of feedback images in a set of user reviews and determines a set of training labels from the captions. The system then trains an image classifier with the set of training labels and the feedback images. Subsequently, the system generates a signature for a respective feedback image in a new set of user reviews using the image classifier. The signature indicates a likelihood of the image matching a respective label in the set of training labels. Based on the signature, the system can allocate the image to an image cluster.
