Keynote Speaker - Images Shared in Social Media: A Window into User Sentiment and Emotion Columbia University Visual content is playing an increasingly important role in social media, due to its effectiveness in attracting attention and conveying emotions. However, it remains difficult to measure the emotions expressed in images and predict the viewer responses likely to be evoked. Results of such studies will be useful for applications such as community sentiment tracking, advertising, and publishing. In this talk, we present a systematic approach to this problem. We first apply web mining to discover the visual content (objects, scenes, and their attributes) frequently used in expressing various types of emotions in social media. We then apply machine learning techniques to develop a large detector library, called SentiBank, that recognizes 1,200 sentiment-related visual concepts contained in images. We show how such analytics tools may be used to predict the sentiments shared in photo tweets. Finally, by analyzing the correlations between the intended emotions and the viewer response comments on social forum like Flickr, we explore the feasibility of developing comment robots that are able to automatically select suitable comments for an image post.
