摘要: Recent rapid advancement in both pervasive mobile computing and social networks has been driving numerous new applications in media consumption through a variety of mobile devices. Among emerging digital media applications, media recommendation has been constantly evolving and have reached a new level of sophistication driven by both “social” and “mobile” augmentations. This talk attempts to examine several relevant recent developments in personalized media recommendation, especially when both social networking principles and mobile user contexts are adopted to significantly expand the horizon of the conventional media recommendation. Based on current booming of social networks as well as ubiquitous penetration of smart mobile devices, we envisage a bright future for mobile social media as pervasive mobile computing and universal social networks advance to their next level of technology evolution.
