As the size of online media collections grows rapidly, multimedia information retrieval (MIR) becomes an increasingly critical technique for effective multimedia document search and management. To facilitate the processes, it is essential to annotate the multimedia objects with comprehensive textual information. Consequently, multimedia tagging has been actively studied by many different communities (e.g., multimedia computing, information retrieval, machine learning and computer version) recently. Meanwhile, many commercial web systems (e.g., Youtube, del.icio.us, Last.fm and Flickr) have successfully applied tags and the related techniques to assist users in discovering, exploring and sharing media content in a convenient and flexible way.
