报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：

Increasingly rich and large-scale social multimedia data (including text, images, audio, video) are being generated and posted to social networking and media sharing websites. Researchers from multidisciplinary areas are developing methods for processing social multimedia and employing such rich multi-modality data for various applications. We present a few recent advances in the nascent area of using social multimedia as sensors, including suggesting suitable social groups from a user's personal photo collection, producing popular and diverse tourism routes from crowd-sourced geotagged photos, predicting academic performance from class social networks and assignments, forecasting election outcome based on image sharing activities and image sentiments, and so on. We will also share some initial findings regarding cultural differences in social multimedia between US and China.
