Social and Automatic Annotation of Videos for Semantic Profiling and Content Discovery

This demo presents a system based on social relationships, social knowledge and automatic video and textual content analysis for the discovery of videos in social networks. The system, developed as a web application, allows users to annotate, manually and automatically, and comment video frames and scenes enriching their content with tags, references to Facebook users and pages and Wikipedia resources. These annotations are used to semantically model the profile of each user extracting and expanding his interests and folksonomy, as well as resources of interest in his social graph. The automatically generated profile page is used to suggest to users new resources, Facebook friends and videos whose content is related to their interests and allows profile curation. A screencast showing an example of these functionalities is publicly available at: http://vimeo.com/miccunifi/facetube
