A baseline Interactive retrieval engine for visual lifelogs at the NTCIR-14 lifelog-3 task

This paper describes the work of DCU research team in collaboration with University of Science, Vietnam, and University of Bergen, Norway at the Lifelog task of NTCIR-14. In this paper, a new interactive retrieval engine is described that supports faceted retrieval and we present the results of an initial experiment with four users. Following this initial experiment, we implement a list of changes for a revised interactive retrieval engine for the LSC2019 comparative evaluation competition. The interactive retrieval system we describe utilises the wide range of lifelog metadata provided by the task organisers to develop an extensive faceted retrieval system
