报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

Abstract. Automatic image annotation and retrieval are two important and difficult problems in computer vision. In this talk I will present our work in using graphical models for improving the results of the basic algorithms in both problems, in particular:

(i) by incorporating spatial relations, (ii) by integrating semantic information, and (iii) by adding user and automatic feedback. Experimental results will be presented on the IAPR dataset, a segmented and annotated image collection developed by our group.
