• Abstract summary: This study reveals the lack of suitable data sets in photo and video sharing platforms. We created one of the largest labelled data sets in Flickr with the multimodal data which has been open sourced. We examined the relationship between the aesthetics and technical quality of a picture and the social activity of that picture.

• Abstract: In our generation, there is an undoubted rise in the use of social media and specifically photo and video sharing platforms. These sites have proved their ability to yield rich data sets through the users' interaction which can be used to perform a data-driven evaluation of capabilities. Nevertheless, this study reveals the lack of suitable data sets in photo and video sharing platforms and evaluation processes across them. In this way, our first contribution is the creation of one of the largest labelled data sets in Flickr with the multimodal data which has been open sourced as part of this contribution. Predicated on these data, we explored machine learning models and concluded that it is feasible to properly predict whether a user is a professional photographer or not based on self-reported occupation labels and several feature representations out of the user, photo and crowdsourced sets. We also examined the relationship between the aesthetics and technical quality of a picture and the social activity of that picture. Finally, we depicted which characteristics differentiate professional photographers from non-professionals. As far as we know, the results presented in this work represent an important novelty for the users' expertise identification which researchers from various domains can use for different applications.

  This project seeks to understand how the application design affects a user's willingness to contribute and the quantity and quality of the data they capture. We designed three versions of a camera-based mobile crowdsourcing application, which varied in the amount of labeling effort requested of the user. The results suggest that higher levels of user labeling do not lead to reduced contribution.

  A prevalent strategy to bolster image classification performance is through augmenting the training set with synthetic images generated by T2I models. In this study, we scrutinize the shortcomings of both current generative and conventional data augmentation techniques. We introduce an innovative inter-class data augmentation method known as Diff-Mix, which enriches the dataset by performing image translations between classes.

Our analysis reveals that images featuring buses, cars, cats, dogs, and people are more accurately dated, suggesting the presence of temporal markers.

We introduce TARA: a dataset with 16k images with their associated news, time and location automatically extracted from New York Times (NYT), and an additional 61k examples as distant supervision from WIT. We show that there exists a 70% gap between a state-of-the-art joint model and human performance, which is slightly filled by our proposed model that uses segment-wise reasoning, motivating higher-level vision-language joint models that
