Big data is becoming increasingly multimedia data. Storytelling is one of the oldest and the most popular activity for humans. Historically, since the early days of human existence, storytelling has been used as a means of simple communication as well ...

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to predict the social popularity (i.e., the numbers of views, comments, and favorites) of content on social networking services using only text annotations. Instead of analyzing image/video content, we try to ...

It is frequently presumed that lovers of Classical music are not present in social media. In this paper, we investigate whether this statement can be empirically verified. To this end, we compare two social media platforms --- Last.fm and Twitter --- ...

The popularity of online social networks (OSNs) is growing rapidly over time. People share their experiences with their friends and relatives with the help of multimedia such as image, video, text, etc. The amount of such shared multimedia is also ...

The extraction of information from online social networks has become popular in both industry and academia as these data sources allow for innovative applications. However, in the area of music recommender systems and music information retrieval, ...

Multimodal learning, as an effective method to helping students understand complex concepts, has attracted much research interest recently. Our motivation of this work is very intuitive: we want to evaluate student performance of multimodal learning ...

Location-based social networking platform (e.g., Foursquare), as a popular scenario of participatory sensing system that collects heterogeneous information (such as tips and photos) of venues from users, has attracted much attention recently. In this ...
