Abstract
Embodiments provide a system and method for performing collaborative learning of machine representations of a concept. During operation, the system can receive a user-specified object associated with a user's concept of interest. The system can compute a similarity score between a target feature vector associated with the user-specified object and a respective feature vector for a set of candidate objects. The system can determine, based on the similarity score, a first subset of candidate objects that satisfy a similarity threshold. The system can receive, via a GUI, a first user-feedback associated with a visual representation of the first subset of candidate objects. The first user-feedback can represent an elaboration of a current user's concept of interest. The system can then modify, based on the first user-feedback, the target feature vector and the similarity function, thereby providing an improved model for machine representations of a current user's concept of interest.
