The document proposes an attribute-assisted reranking model for web image search. It uses semantic attributes to refine image search results from a text-based search engine. A hypergraph is used to model relationships between images by integrating low-level visual features and attribute features. A visual-attribute joint hypergraph learning approach simultaneously explores these two information sources to reorder images based on their relationships and attributes. The proposed approach is shown to outperform other reranking methods in experiments.
