Social Multimedia Computing



When I am a college student, major in software engineering, I think Social  Multimedia Computing is just calculate the data. After the lecture, I found that there are several views of that, the most wiedly accepted are social computing over multimedia and social-empowered multimedia computing. I want to know furture is that concerned with social multimedia search, how we do that job efficient and the basic algorithm about that. I refer  to the Internet and find some relanted books in library to revisit the topic in classes. I found that the most efficient way to find some information is refer to the comments form the Internet, though some of them are not correct.

About the topic of social multimedia computing, refre to one article form website says that "The explosive growth of social multimedia content on the Internet is revolutionizing content distribution and social interaction. It has even led to a new research area, called social multimedia computing. " Form that we can find that the topic is revelent to hugh content about the social multimdia. To fullfill the better preformance about that, we have social multimedia computing.

From my point of view, we should also see that topic form the two ways which we just say above.
The first is "scoial computing over multimedia" which is the one centers on social sciences which focus on using technology and tools to do several enhancements: 1. more powerful social interaction. 2. harveset large-scale digital traces.  3. develop methodolgoies for lage-scale validations of social science theories. 4. study user behavior and social dynamics in multimedia social networks. From the above 4 topics, we can find that the aim is the same as the defintion I found from the website. So, I think that the one part of social multimedia computing is aimed at better calcualtion ability. Let's put this apart for a while, and pay attention to the second view about it, "Social-empowered multimedia computing" which applys knowledge form social studies to design and improve multimedia application and incorporates and exploits social constraints and contextual information to infer the semantics of multimedia content. The second view implys that to have better social multimedia search, we should first do a better job about social multimedia computing.

What I want to konw furture is that according to the social multimedia computing, what we can do to social multimedia search better? The algorithm, data structure and some revelent topics. The picture shows that we have a more and more close over publish, broadcast and compute and I think that computing might be the fisrt thing for us to anlaysis in the future. We have moore law that we can see a bright future about that and we should pay more attention to that for us to do better job about other things. We should combine different parts together to meet the furture challenges.

  1. Great! I think you must have done a lot of work to study this topic.It is a excellent blog that give me many aspects of multimedia computing.
    But as you mentioned that we are in the age of "explosive growth of social multimedia content ", what can we do to combine computing and searching to make it more efficient?

    1. It is really a great question and I am also pay some attention to it. It may take years to imporve that things better. If you are interested in that topic you can refer to the reference and this will give you a boder view.

    2. Wow, you can really see the point of a thing, data mining will be one of the most important stuff in next several years, now maybe they will focus more on the social network data.

  2. Social multimedia search is very interesting. In my opinion, it is weakened in the era of social networking relative to the era of search engines Intuitively. But it is emphasized by a somewhat different form, recommendation. When I read some articles, I realize that there are so many relationships between search and recommendation. There are so many common considerations, such as ranking and find out the relationships and so on. Now, I think they are really two sides of one thing. And the progress in both area can promote the overall progress of social networking. Expected to see more info about social media search from you blog.

    1. Thanks for your opinion, I think the recommendation should be very important in the area of social search and soical computing should also attach more importance to it. I will read more articls and write more about that area in my articl, thanks a lot again.

    2. Yes, I could not agree with you any more, and hope to see your progress in the future.

  3. First of all, I agree with your idea! Secondly, I am considering whether it is possible to search a movie share by friends just using some words, maybe it will be more convenient to find stuffs.

    1. It is really a good idea to provide this service, I think we can put some tags to movies and by searching these words can refer to the movies.

    2. Yes, but actually, I mean, if I got a picture, and I don`t know its name or even the content, then if we can also search the information about it by just uploading it to the "Google", it will be great!

  4. In my opinion,there exists one big problem in social networking computing.Even social media and social network have progressed so much that almost anyone is involved in the network.However,the gained data or information may not tell the accurate truth.Customer habit and personality seem to be not a little problem.Some people tend to perform different on certain occasions,thus,what shows in the web may not be it in the reality which may lead to error the analyzing customers.

  5. I do like the part that you describe the social network with the help of the data you calculate. Not only did you figure out the relative numbers of these concepts, but also you describe what the practical meaning they explain. That really helps us readers to understand the terminologies, and know how to apply theoretical SNA knowledge to practical examples.

  6. "The explosive growth of social multimedia content on the Internet is revolutionizing content distribution and social interaction. It has even led to a new research area, called social multimedia computing"this is more visualize than the definition on the slides.
