TLDR
The contextual metadata that is automatically assembled for a photograph, given time and location, is described, as well as a browser interface that utilizes that metadata.Abstract:
Given time and location information about digital photographs we can automatically generate an abundance of related contextual metadata, using off-the-shelf and Web-based data sources. Among these are the local daylight status and weather conditions at the time and place a photo was taken. This metadata has the potential of serving as memory cues and filters when browsing photo collections, especially as these collections grow into the tens of thousands and span dozens of years.We describe the contextual metadata that we automatically assemble for a photograph, given time and location, as well as a browser interface that utilizes that metadata. We then present the results of a user study and a survey that together expose which categories of contextual metadata are most useful for recalling and finding photographs. We identify among still unavailable metadata categories those that are most promising to develop next.read more

Lifelogging: Personal Big Data
TL;DR: This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of lifelogging, to cover its research history, current technologies, and applications, and reflect on the challenges lifelogged poses for information access and retrieval in general.
Inducing Ontology from Flickr Tags
TL;DR: A revised, probabilistic model using seed ontologies to induce faceted ontology, and how the model can integrate into the logistics of tagging communities is proposed.

Can all tags be used for search
TL;DR: This paper is the first to present an in-depth study of tagging behavior for very different kinds of resources and systems - Web pages, music, and images - and compares the results with anchor text characteristics, and provides statistics on tag distributions in all three tagging environments.

Placing flickr photos on a map
TL;DR: Generic methods for placing photos uploaded to Flickr on the World map use the textual annotations provided by the users to predict the single most probable location where the image was taken to achieve at least twice the precision of the state-of-the-art reported in the literature.

Understanding photowork
TL;DR: The notion of "photowork" is introduced as the activities people perform with their digital photos after cap-ture but prior to end use such as sharing, and how "search" as it is usually defined may have much less relevance than new ways of browsing for the design of new digital photo tools.

As we may think
TL;DR: The Director of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, Dr. Vannevar Bush holds up an incentive for scientists when the fighting has ceased, and urges that men of science should then turn to the massive task of making more accessible the authors' bewildering store of knowledge.
