Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Image retrieval method using a text as a query is effective because it enables users to prepare query easily. In these methods, it is expected to improve retrieval performance of cross-modal retrieval method that can retrieve a desired image from a query sentence without labels on the candidate images. Conventional cross-modal retrieval method is realized by embedding lingual and visual features into common semantic space. However, the conventional cross-modal retrieval method may lose information of nouns in a query sentence and objects in candidate images while they embed lingual and visual features. Then, in this paper, we propose a novel image retrieval method that can focus on all of noun of input text based on image recognition method. In the proposed method, firstly, we calculate similarities between all of noun of input text and objects recognized by retrieval candidate images. Then, by using these similarities with the conventional image retrieval method, we obtain retrieval results that contain all of noun of input text. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method through evaluations using open dataset.
