Approximate similarity search algorithms based on hashing were proposed to query high-dimensional datasets due to its fast retrieval speed and low storage cost. Recent studies, promote the use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with hashing techniques to improve the search accuracy. However, there are challenges to solve in order to find a practical and efficient solution to index CNN features, such as the need for heavy training process to achieve accurate query results and the critical dependency on data-parameters. Aiming to overcome these issues, we propose a new method for scalable similarity search, i.e., Deep frActal based Hashing (DAsH), by computing the best data-parameters values for optimal sub-space projection exploring the correlations among CNN features attributes using fractal theory. Moreover, inspired by recent advances in CNNs, we use not only activations of lower la...

The growing volume of data and its increasing complexity require even more efficient and faster information retrieval techniques. Approximate nearest neighbor search algorithms based on hashing were proposed to query high-dimensional datasets due to its high retrieval speed and low storage cost. Recent studies promote the use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with hashing techniques to improve the search accuracy.

The classification of a real text should not be necessarily treated as a binary or multi-class classification, since the text may belong to one or more labels. This type of problem is called multi-label classification. In this paper, we propose the use of latent semantic indexing to text representation, convolutional neural networks to feature extraction and a single multi layer perceptron for multi-label classification in real text data. The experiments show that the model outperforms state of the art techniques when the dataset has long documents, and we observe that the precision is poor when the size of the texts is small.
