Observe them • How many photos does each user offer? • How many tags does each photo have? • The tag hot-list • How many comments does each photo have? • The ratio of the geo-tagged photos.
dataset • European Travel on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/europe05/ • 1154 members • 500- providers • About 15000(pretended) photos • Actual 4500 photos
How many photos does each user offer? • 1 photo : 77 users • 2 photos : 85 users • 3 photos : 44 users • 4 photos : 56 users • 5 photos : 29 users • 6 photos : 24 users • 7 photos : 21 users
How many photos does each user offer? • Top 10 providers has 20% photos. • Top 20 providers has 30% photos. • Top 53 providers has 50% photos. • 486 providers / 1154 members
How many photos does each user offer? • Visit the top 10 providers’ albums. • See their photos, photosets and groups

How many photos does each user offer? • Not easy to build a dataset by tracing group members’ albums automatically (by Flickr API) because many of the photos are beside. • Some people only upload the photos to associated group and not in their own album.
How many photos does each user offer? • But we can still expand our dataset from some members’ photos approximately. (manually) • Through the groups the members belong to, we can find other suitable groups.
How many tags does each photo have? • 209 (5%) photos without any tag • 1tag : 135 photos • 2tags : 302 photos • 3tags : 270 photos • 4tags : 319 photos • 5tags : 302 photos • 6tags : 392 photos • 7tags : 345 photos • 8tags : 262 photos • 9tags : 265 photos
How many tags does each photo have? • 62131 photos • 5069 (8%) without any tag
How many tags does each photo have? • Most of the photos have non-zero tags. • Not really a power-law distribution, photos < 10 tags are common and few has more than 10 tags.
The tag hot-list • European travel 446 Europe + 427 europe + 121 europa + 105 Europa = 1009 549 (1st) travel + 135 Travel = 684
The tag hot-list • Country : 334 France + 264 france = 598 275 Italy + 242 italy + 119 italia = 636 202 spain + 187 Spain = 389
The tag hot-list • Scene • 138 landscape • 166 architecture • 125 water • 114 church • 110 sky • 101 sea • 97 building • 87 river
Why we tag? Self/Organization: Search and Retrieval • traditional annotation motivations in personal photo collections • tag specifically to later retrieve their pictures for sharing • tag for personal organization purposes
Why we tag? Self/Communication: Memory and Context • aid future recall of the situation it depicts • adding context is the traditional motivation for annotating printed photographs • the memory function of tags was still not a popular motivation.
Why we tag? Social/Organization: Public Search and Photo Pools • Making their photos findable by others • Enrich and share experiences • Be discovered by anyone who may be interested in the photo
Why we tag? Social/Communication: Context and Signaling • communicate contextual information to others about the image • added these contextual tags for the benefit of known others, such as friends or family • For privacy, friends or family would understand what the tags meant
Why we tag? Summary for motivations • tags can play several roles
Why we tag? conclusion • organization for oneself is a more common motivation than communication for oneself • over half of our participants used tags for personal search and retrieval; very few were motivated to tag for personal memory
Why we tag? Conclusion (cont.) • communicationwith friends and family is a more common motivation than organization for friends and family • organization for the general public is a much more common motivation than communication.
How many comments does each photo have? • 1711 (38%) photos have no comments • Unlike tags, it’s a power-law distribution
The ratio of the geo-tagged photos • Photo counts = 4497 • With geo counts = 1182 (26%) • Without geo counts = 3315
Future work • Work with Winston's "Video Search Reranking" to think about how to design a query
