PARAMETERIZATION OF A CATEGORIZER FOR ADJUSTING IMAGE CATEGORIZATION AND RETRIEVAL
First Claim
1. A method for digital object categorization or retrieval comprising:
- providing for graphically presenting a selector to a user, the selector including a position which is variably adjustable within a range by the user to adjust a level of noise in at least one of digital object categorization and digital object retrieval, the range of the selector having been normalized over a set of digital object categories based on scores output by a trained categorizer for each of a set of labeled test objects for each of the set of digital object categories and a label for each of the test objects;
receiving selector position information;
with a computer processor, performing at least one of digital object categorization and digital object retrieval, andproviding for outputting results of the at least one of digital object categorization and digital object retrieval, based on the selector position information.

Abstract
A system and method for digital object categorization or retrieval are provided. The method includes providing for a selector to be graphically presented to a user. The selector is variably adjustable within a range, by the user, to adjust a level of noise in at least one of digital object categorization and digital object retrieval. The range of the selector is normalized over a set of digital object categories based on scores output by a trained categorizer for each of a set of labeled test objects for each of the set of digital object categories and a label for each of the test objects. Selector position information is received by the system and at least one of digital object categorization and digital object retrieval is performed, based on the selector position information. One or more of the method steps may be performed with a computer processor.

22. A system for variably adjusting a level of noise for digital object categorization or retrieval comprising:
-
memory storing instructions for presenting a selector with a position which is variably adjustable by a user to adjust a level of noise in at least one of digital object categorization and digital object retrieval, an impact of the selector on an output of the digital object categorization or digital object retrieval being normalized over a set of digital object categories based on scores output by a trained categorizer for each of a set of labeled test objects for each of the set of digital object categories and a label for each of the test objects; and a computer processor which executes the instructions. - View Dependent Claims (23)

24. A method for assisting a user in variably adjusting a level of noise for digital object categorization or retrieval comprising:
-
submitting a set of labeled test images to a probabilistic categorizer comprising a categorizer model for each of a set of categories to generate scores for each of the labeled test images for each of the categories in the set; for each of the set of categories, computing threshold scores based on the generated scores for that category and labels of the test images; presenting a selector in a graphical user interface with a position which is variably adjustable by a user to adjust the level of noise in at least one of digital object categorization and digital object retrieval, the selector having been normalized over the set of digital object categories based on the computed threshold scores.
