INTRODUCTION
Multimedia content has become ubiquitous on the web, creating new challenges for indexing, access, search and retrieval. At the same time, much of
this content is made available on content sharing websites such as YouTube or Flickr, or shared on social networks like Facebook. In such environments, the content is usually accompanied with metadata, tags, ratings, comments, information about the uploader
and their social network, etc. Analysis of these "social media" shows a great potential in improving the performance of traditional multimedia information analysis/retrieval approaches by bridging the semantic gap between the "objective" multimedia content
analysis and "subjective" users' needs and impressions. The integration of these aspects, however, is non-trivial and has created a vibrant, interdisciplinary field of research. The main objective of this book is to provide in-depth knowledge that explicitly
exploits the synergy between multimedia content analysis, personalization, and next generation networking and community aspects of social networks. We believe that this integration could result in robust, personalized multimedia services, providing users with
an improved multimedia centric quality of experience (QoE) awareness.
In response to the booming developments in social networks, this edited book intends to keep readers abreast of the current research and development trends in this area by bringing together high quality
chapters.
Objective of the book
This edited book is anticipated to be an assortment of tutorials, surveys,
and original contributions that concentrate on the most contemporary advances in social media retrieval. The principle aspiration of this edited book is not only to cover the theoretical and practical fundamentals, but also cover the state-of-the-art techniques
and challenges of the subject area. A number of promising developments and innovative guidelines will also be explained in this edited book with the aim of motivating further work and providing an informative overview for academic research and practice.
