A topic modeling with the Latent Dirichlet Allocation technique were proposed on a set of images text descriptions to realize the precise topic for each set of images with respect to their attached descriptions from which classifying new images based on the observed topics would be more facilitated. The research was evaluated on the benchmark CLEF dataset; the results were encouraging with regards to the enhancing image retrieval using topics extraction. ER -
