Abstract
Systems and methods for generating visual words define initial inter-visual word relationships between a plurality of visual words; define visual word-image relationships between the plurality of visual words and a plurality of images; define inter-image relationships between the plurality of images; generate revised inter-visual word relationships in a vector space based on the initial inter-visual word relationships, the inter-image relationships, and the visual word-image relationships; and generate higher-level visual words in the vector space based on the revised inter-visual word relationships.
