SocialZap: Catch-Up on Interesting Television Fragments Discovered from Social Media S. Kordumova, C. Kofler, D. C. Koelma, B. Huurnink, B. Freiburg, J. Kleinveld, M. van Rijn, M. van Deursen, M.

In this paper we present SocialZap, a multimedia search engine that finds the most interesting fragments, zap points, in a television broadcast based on microblog posts and socially tagged photos. The main novelty of SocialZap is the fully-automatic transfer of the learned viewers interest from textual posts to the visual channel, without the need for any manual effort in the process. Once SocialZap finds the zap points, users can easily browse through a television broad- cast and directly watch the interesting fragments. Thus, SocialZap adds social experience to watching television.
