Hyun-Woo Kim, Kang‐Pyo Lee, Hyoung-Joo Kim · 2010
In the era of Web 2.0, users create a number of their own Web contents. So, multimedia search becomes much more important than ever. A tag is a simple keyword which describes the Web contents including URL, pictures, and videos. Tags perform a role of descriptors of Web contents and Web metadata properly. If the number of tagged Web data increases, users are more likely to find the desired search result because the system includes the Web contents which have richer Web metadata. However, the number of users who use tags as Web metadata is relatively small. Because of the cumbersome process of adding tags, or users do not know what to add for the better accessibility from the public. Given situation, tag recommendation, which helps the process of adding tags, has been studied to solve these problems. When a user adds some Web contents, the tag recommendation system recommends relevant tags for the Web contents to the use, and the user selects recommended tags. We analyze and categorize various tag recommendation algorithms in tagging system.
