A method of personalized image retrieval includes obtaining a natural language query including a name; replacing the name in the natural language query with a generic term to provide an anonymized query and named entity information; obtaining a plurality of initial ranking scores and a plurality of attention weights corresponding to a plurality of images using a trained scoring model that inputs the anonymized query and the plurality of images; obtaining a plurality of delta scores corresponding to the plurality of images using a re-scoring model that inputs the plurality of attention weights and the named entity information; and obtaining a plurality of final ranking scores by modifying the plurality of initial ranking scores based on the plurality of delta scores. The trained scoring model performs semantic based searching and the re-scoring model determines a probability that faces detected in the plurality of images correspond to the name.

Method of personalized image and video searching based on a natural language query, and an apparatus for the same

An apparatus for scrubbing an image may include a memory storing instructions; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive an input image; input a preset public attribute to an encoder neural network; obtain a scrubbed feature from the input image based on the preset public attribute, via the encoder neural network; wherein the encoder neural network is trained based on an amount of information in the scrubbed feature about the input image, and an estimated public attribute estimated from the scrubbed feature.
