TRUST MODELING IN SOCIAL TAGGING OF MULTIMEDIA CONTENT


ABSTRACT:

                Tagging in online social networks is very popular these days, as it 

facilitates search and retrieval of multimedia content. However, noisy and 

spam annotations often make it difficult to perform an efficient search. Users 

may make mistakes in tagging and irrelevant tags and content may be 

maliciously added for advertisement or self-promotion. This article surveys 

recent advances in techniques for combatting such noise and spam in social 

tagging. We classify the state-of-the-art approaches into a few categories and 

study representative examples in each. We also qualitatively compare and 

contrast them and outline open issues for future research.



CONCLUSION:                               
                               
In this article, we dealt with one of the key issues in social tagging systems: 

combatting noise and spam. We classified existing studies in the literature into 

two categories, i.e., content and user trust modeling. Representative 

techniques in each category were analyzed and compared. In addition, existing 

databases and evaluation protocols were re viewed. An example system was 

presented to demonstrate how trust modeling can be particularly employed in 

a popular application of image sharing and geotagging. Finally, open issues and 

future research trends were prospected. As online social networks and content 

sharing services evolve rapidly, we believe that the research on enhancing 

reliability and trustworthiness of such services will become increasingly 

important.
