WNtags: A Web-Based Tool For Image Labeling And Retrieval With Lexical Ontologies
Ever growing number of image documents available on the Internet continuously motivates research in better annotation models and more efficient retrieval methods. Formal knowledge representation of objects and events in pictures, their interaction as well as context complexity becomes no longer an option for a quality image repository, but a necessity. We present an ontology-based online image annotation tool WNtags and demonstrate its usefulness in several typical multimedia retrieval tasks using International Affective Picture System emotionally annotated image database. WNtags is built around WordNet lexical ontology but considers Suggested Upper Merged Ontology as the preferred labeling formalism. WNtags uses sets of weighted WordNet synsets as high-level image semantic descriptors and query matching is performed with word stemming and node distance metrics. We also elaborate our near future plans to expand image content description with induced affect as in stimuli for research of human emotion and attention.

VISIR: Visual and Semantic Image Label Refinement
The social media explosion has populated the Internet with a wealth of images. There are two existing paradigms for image retrieval: 1) content-based image retrieval (CBIR), which has traditionally used visual features f…

Does a lexical retriever suffice as large language models (LLMs) become more capable in an agentic loop? This question naturally arises when building deep research systems. We revisit it by pairing BM25 with frontier LLM…
When LLMs Disagree: Diagnosing Relevance Filtering Bias and Retrieval Divergence in SDG Search
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used to assign document relevance labels in information retrieval pipelines, especially in domains lacking human-labeled data. However, different models often disagree on bor…
