Capturing Cross-Domain Ripples

Abstract

Various web domains present original, updated or aggregated multimedia content for users. Media on the Internet is unevenly distributed into domains depending on platforms, popularity and bias. The domain where it originates limits its power. For example, video popularity is usually judged by view count but not by how trending the video topic is on another domain. Similarly, Twitter users can only see related media shared in Twitter, but not from external sources. This compels users to perform unguided search in external resources manually. Such video sites are more often than not filled with an explosion of video/image information. Thus the need for better cross-domain media recommendation systems is considered to be a key constituent to social search and empowering online media.
