The bag-of-words assumption is commonly used in text categorization. Under this assumption, a post is represented simply as a set of words or n-grams without any ordering. This assumption certainly omits an important aspect of languages but nevertheless proved powerful in numerous tasks. In this setting, there are various ways to assign weights to the terms that may be more important, such as TF-IDF [23]. For a general information retrieval review, see [24].
Multimedia that is lost in a huge collection or in a back alley of the Internet is essentially useless. Research in multimedia information retrieval (MIR) is directed at preventing this. It aims at matching multimedia content and user needs and so at bringing image, audio and video items, further in the paper referred to as multimedia items, together with users. This is pursued by developing theories and algorithms that automatically assign, process and verify the descriptors (metadata) pertinent to the content of images, videos and music and then deploy them to retrieve the multimedia items required by the user.
Richness of information that can be drawn from social media has brought vast new opportunities for improving the quality of MIR solutions [2]. Revisiting MIR in view of these opportunities, using the approaches that can jointly be referred to as social media retrieval [25], has helped the field to resolve some critical problems that impeded its development in the past. However, it could also help the field to address the new emerging demands.
We start the technical part of the paper by reflecting in Sect. 2 upon current trends in the MIR field and discussing the rationale behind the theoretical and algorithmic concepts of social media retrieval. Then, in Sect. 3, we discuss the deficiencies of the existing social media retrieval solutions and justify the need for the above-mentioned focus shift in the MIR research approach. After proposing a strategy in Sect. 4 on how to change the MIR research focus, we revisit in Sect. 5 the foundations of social media retrieval and analyze how these foundations could be strengthened to help realize the proposed strategy. We conclude the paper with Sect. 6, in which we recommend a number of research directions that build on the new foundations and that should enable us to come a substantial step closer to truly useful MIR solutions.
Increasing convergence between the content and context movements within MIR have resulted in a new wave of scientific contributions. These contributions can be brought under the social media retrieval research direction introduced earlier in this paper that has marked the developments in the MIR field over the past several years. Essentially, social media retrieval combines the information resources available in the social media context with MCA to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of multimedia content access.
More specifically, the principles underlying the methods and algorithms of social media retrieval can be said to largely follow the triple-synergy paradigm (TSP) [22, 53]. As illustrated in Fig. 3, this paradigm provides a conceptual framework for realizing MIR solutions by integrating three fundamental categories of information-generating processes:
The goal of social media retrieval is to let these benefits optimally complement each other in order to be able to infer new information that can facilitate multimedia content access substantially better than any of the individual information sources (i.e. the nodes in Fig. 3) taken in isolation. Examples of possible new inferred information about multimedia items, users and metadata are listed in the left part of Fig. 4. In the remainder of this section we illustrate the possibilities for a realization of the social media retrieval approach on a number of examples from recent literature.
The TSP-enabled integration of resources available in a social media context has already established itself as the necessary condition to boost the development of MIR solutions towards the desired level of sophistication. Since the related efforts draw from the existing MIR technology of semantic inference, interactive search and network analysis and aim at exploring new possibilities for solving MIR problems through different combination of these technology components, we refer to them as being technology-inspired. Vast number of ideas and methods proposed over the past years, some of which mentioned in the previous section, have substantially advanced the state of the art in MIR by exploring the TSP-enabled solution concepts that have not been possible before and by revealing first insights in how rich information resources and interdisciplinary expertise in the social media context can be deployed to make progress.
The discussion in Sect. 2.3 indicated, however, that the main added value of social media retrieval lies in exploiting implicit information about the nodes, examples of which are given in Fig. 4. Therefore, after a social graph has been modeled using the available explicit information about the nodes, typically a graph analysis would follow to derive as much implicit information characterizing the nodes and their relations as possible. Coming back to the example of the item nodes, implicit relations between the multimedia items can be inferred through indirect links connecting two items in the graph, e.g. via shared metadata or users who uploaded, downloaded, commented, tagged or rated these items. The same holds for acquiring information about implicit relations among users that can be deployed to enrich the findings from the analysis of explicit user input as explained in the previous section. Aggregation of the explicit and implicit information encoded in the social graph can help acquire insights into the true relations among the nodes and the information flows through the network. This, again, enables validation, propagation and enrichment of annotations throughout the collection, bringing related users to each other and bringing the right content to the right users. Many recent works in MIR have adopted this approach for a wide variety of applications, as illustrated by the examples referred to earlier in this paper [4, 41, 55].
One of the first attempts to address these challenges has been reported by Rudinac et al. [54]. There, topic-based video search was performed by combining the query-performance prediction (QPP) principle (e.g. [9, 26, 77]) with the results of many visual concept detectors aggregated across a video into a meta-level video representation. This representation is deployed by a QPP framework to evaluate the coherence (e.g. [28]) of the candidate video search list and to select the list that is most likely to respond to a given topical query. The potential power of this hybrid solution can be observed from the fact that the proposed approach is able to select the most suitable video search list for 30 % more queries than in the cases where only textual information is used to compare the videos. However, we are not there yet, which can be observed from the fact that the performance in the absolute sense (e.g. in terms of AP) is still too low.
When ranking search results for multiple objectives, such as maximizing the relevance and diversity of retrieved documents, competing objectives can induce a space of optimal solutions, each reflecting a different optimal trade-off over objectives. This raises several important questions. Firstly, what Pareto optimal solution set is induced by objective functions? Secondly, what are the best solutions achievable on a given dataset? Finally, how closely do the best dataset solutions approach the true Pareto optimal? We present a clear conceptual framing of these questions, with supporting terminology and visualizations, distinguishing Pareto vs. "dataset-best" solutions and providing strong intuition about how and why different optimization problems lead to different shapes and forms of solutions (regardless of optimization technique). We also provide benchmark problems for verifying the correctness of any Pareto machinery and show how existing multi-objective optimization (MOO) and filter methods can be used to provide accurate and interpretable answers to the above questions. Finally, we show how user-defined constraints imposed on the solution space can be effectively handled. In sum, we provide conceptual, translational, and practical contributions to solving MOO problems in retrieval.
In cryptography, a private information retrieval (PIR) protocol is a protocol that allows a user to retrieve an item from a server in possession of a database without revealing which item is retrieved. PIR is a weaker version of 1-out-of-n oblivious transfer, where it is also required that the user should not get information about other database items.
One-way functions are necessary, but not known to be sufficient, for nontrivial (i.e., with sublinear communication) single database computationally private information retrieval. In fact, such a protocol was proved by Giovanni Di Crescenzo, Tal Malkin and Rafail Ostrovsky to imply oblivious transfer (see below).[12]
While traditional LLMs can be resource-intensive and less efficient in searching for relevant and up-to-date information, Squirro's information retrieval (IR) stack delivers enhanced results in a cost-effective manner.
