Abstract

This paper is based upon an approach for automatic detection of personal events in on-line personal photo collections and proposes a powerful exploitation of these events: We compose social events out of personal events and then automatically reveal interpersonal ties. Trying to tame the stream of big data in social networks we solely rely on image meta-data of time and space. We validate our assumptions in the wild using 1.8 million public images of more than 4100 users. The proposed approach has three main steps: (i) personal event detection using individual, unsorted photo collections, in which we make use of the spatio-temporal context embedded in digital photos to detect event boundaries within the collection; (ii) social event detection for which we use a tailored similarity measurement between personal events of different users; and (iii) an analysis of event co-participation to propagate social connections. Experiments validate that the fully automated approach is able to accurately detect 78.76% of social events and reconstruct the interpersonal ties of a user with a verified true positive rate of 45%. This rate is probably much higher: Since most interpersonal ties are undefined in the universe of social networks, our experimental ground-truth of course remains fragmentary.

We are addressing the problem of organizing and indexing one's personal media. Recent approaches of media indexing use events as media aggregators, but do not fully consider the context in which the media asset has been produced and do not take the ...
