Abstract

We investigate the impact of social features (such as likes, dislikes, comments, etc.) on the effectiveness of video retrieval in YouTube video sharing system using state-of-the-art learning to rank approaches and a greedy feature selection algorithm. Our experiments based on a dataset of 3,500 annotated query-video pairs reveal that social features are promising to improve the retrieval performance.
