Abstract

TweetPhoto utilizes a map query interface to display news photos from news articles that are extracted from the tweets of 2,000 Twitter users who have been determined to post news related content. These articles are then geotagged and clustered so that a set of locations are associated with a cluster and its associated images. For each of these locations, the images are scored based on the terms associated with the location and the image's caption. This work differs from traditional work in this area as all topic and location extraction is automated without the need for user entered content or GPS coordinates.
