       This paper presents a new relevance feedback method for
       content-based image retrieval using local image features. This
       method adopts a genetic programming approach to learn user
       preferences and combine the region similarity values in a query
       session.  Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method
       yields more effective results than the Local Aggregation
       Pattern (LAP)-based relevance feedback technique.
