Facebook witnesses an explosion of the number of shared photos: With 100 million photo uploads a day it creates as much as a whole Flickr each two months in terms of volume. Facebook has also one of the healthiest platforms to support third party applications, many of which deal with photos and related events. While it is essential for many Facebook applications, until now there is no easy way to detect and link photos that are related to the same events, which are usually distributed between friends and albums. In this work, we introduce an approach that exploits Facebook features to link photos related to the same event. In the current situation where the EXIF header of photos is missing in Facebook, we extract visual-based, tagged areas-based, friendship-based and structure-based features. We evaluate each of these features and use the results in our approach. We introduce and evaluate a semi-supervised probabilistic approach that takes into account the evaluation of these features. In this approach we create a lookup table of the initialization values of our model variables and make it available for other Facebook applications or researchers to use. The evaluation of our approach showed promising results and it outperformed the other the baseline method of using the unsupervised EM algorithm in estimating the parameters of a Gaussian mixture model. We also give two examples of the applicability of this approach to help Facebook applications in better serving the user.
