An Affinity Based Complex Artificial Immune System and its Application on Trademark Retrieval

Abstract

Recently, artificial immune system (AIS) inspired by the theory or immunology, has been developed rapidly and steadily. In this paper, we proposed an affinity based complex artificial immune system model considering the fact that the different eptitopes located on the surface of antigen can be recognized by a set of different paratopes expressed on the surface of immune cells. The experiment on trademark retrieval is performed to prove that the model proposed model has an excellent performance on retrieving the trademark images and outperforms the previously proposed algorithm.
