Abstract
Recent years have witnessed the emerging and booming of social platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Flickr etc.), where people record, share/broadcast, and comment on media content, i.e., images and videos, leading to an accelerated proliferation of social media on the Internet. The rapid increase of social media has raised numerous new research challenges to multimedia content analysis. On the other hand, the availability of massive social media has also presented many exciting opportunities and challenges to attack in particular within the field of multimedia content analysis.
