Arabian Photos: Investigating User-Generated Content
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper focuses on User-Generated (UG) photos in the understudied Arab Muslim World. Over four million public photos on Flickr.com represent Arab countries‟ UG presence, with Egypt and Palestine the top countries for the respective keywords of travel and Muslim. The findings also reveal varied United Arab Emirates‟ presence, with ten times more Dubai photos than the next highest emirate Abu Dhabi and two hundred times more than three emirates. At the country level, the results of hypotheses testing showed significant relationships between the presences of public Flickr photos with Arabian Internet connectivity, tourist arrivals and Muslim population.

متن کاملSampled Image Tagging and Retrieval Methods on User Generated Content
Traditional image tagging and retrieval algorithms have limited value as a result of being trained with heavily curated datasets. These limitations are most evident when arbitrary search words are used that do not intersect with training set labels. Weak labels from user generated content (UGC) found in the wild (e.g., Google Photos, FlickR, etc.) have an almost unlimited number of unique words...
