• Abstract: YouTube, a world-famous video sharing website, maintains a list of the top trending videos on the platform. Due to its huge amount of users, it enables researchers to understand people's preference by analyzing the trending videos. Trending videos vary from country to country. By analyzing such differences and changes, we can tell how users' preferences differ over locations. Previous work focuses on analyzing such culture preferences from videos' metadata, while the culture information hidden within the visual content has not been discovered. In this study, we explore culture preferences among countries using the thumbnails of YouTube trending videos. We first process the thumbnail images of the videos using object detectors. The collected object information is then used for various statistical analysis. In particular, we examine the data from three perspectives: geographical locations, video genres and users' reactions. Experimental results indicate that the users from similar cultures shares interests in watching similar videos on YouTube. Our study demonstrates that discovering the culture preference through the thumbnails can be an effective mechanism for video social media analysis.

  We present 3MASSIV, a multilingual, multimodal and multi-aspect, expertly-annotated dataset of diverse short videos extracted from short-video social media platform - Moj. 3MASSIV comprises of 50k short videos (20 seconds average duration) and 100K unlabeled videos in 11 different languages. We show how the social media content in 3MASSIV is dynamic and temporal in nature, which can be used for semantic understanding tasks and cross-lingual analysis.

  Short-form video social media shifts away from the traditional media paradigm by telling the audience a dynamic story to attract their attention. In particular, different combinations of everyday objects can be employed to represent a unique scene that is both interesting and understandable. Offered by the same company, TikTok and Douyin are popular examples of such new media that has become popular in recent years. The hypothesis that they express cultural differences together with media fashion and social idiosyncrasy is the primary target of our research.
