In addition, we show that even advanced, non-standard fusion strategies can be represented in dual forms. These models are often classified as representing early or late fusion strategies. We also prove that the standard query modification method with specific similarity measurements can be represented in a late fusion form.}, issn = {1557-6418}, issue = {2}, journal = {Journal of advances in information fusion}, note = {COMPLETED -- Although still cited as online first found it had been published in Dec 2015 10(2) 23/6/2017 LM -- Still on online first 22/5/2017, 24/4/2017 LM -- Status changed to UPLOADED - PENDING as current URL is only for ""articles to appear in a later issue"" 05.04.2017 GB -- Permission rec'd 6/6/2016 LM -- Chased 3/6/2016 LM -- Permission requested from pub 11/4/2016 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Goker, Ayse -- Panel B}, pages = {183-198}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {International Society of Information Fusion}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10059/1506}, volume = {10}, keyword = {Content based image retrieval, Multimedia information retrieval, Information fusion, Information retrieval}, year = {2015}, author = {Kaliciak, Leszek and Myrhaug, Hans and Goker, Ayse and Song, Dawei} }
