Abstract(in English) Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) which extend the bag-of-visual-words (BoW) to a probabilistic framework have been proved to be effective for image and video semantic indexing. Recently, the q-Gaussian distribution,which is derived in the non-extensive statistics, has been shown to be useful for representing patterns in manycomplex systems in physics such as fractals and cosmology. We propose q-Gaussian mixture models (q-GMMs),which are mixture models of q-Gaussian distributions, for image and video semantic indexing. It has a parameterq to control its tail-heaviness. The long-tailed distributions obtained for q > 1 are expected to effectively representcomplexly correlated data, and hence, to improve robustness against outliers. In our experiments, our proposedmethod outperformed the BoW method and achieved 49.4% and 10.9% in Mean Average Precision on the PASCALVOC 2010 dataset and the TRECVID 2010 Semantic Indexing dataset, respectively.
