The problem of tagging is mostly considered from the perspectives of machine learning and data-driven philosophy. A fundamental issue that underlies the success of these approaches is the visual similarity, ranging from the nearest neighbor search to manifold learning, to identify similar instances of an example for tag completion. The need to searching for millions of visual examples in high-dimensional feature space, however, makes the task computationally expensive. Moreover, the results can suffer from robustness problem, when the underlying data, such as online videos, are rich of semantics and the similarity is difficult to be learnt from low-level features. This …

With the prosperity of video-sharing websites such as YouTube, the amount of community-contributed video has increased dramatically. Reportedly more than 65,000 new videos were uploaded to YouTube every day in July 2006 and it's estimated that 20 hours of new videos were uploaded to the site every minute in May 2009. In addition to the huge volume of video data, the social Web provides rich contextual and social resources associated with videos. These resources include title, tags, thumbnails, related videos, and user and community information, as illustrated in Figure 1. While billions of user-generated videos accompanied with rich-media information have …
