Dataset "Privacy-aware image classification and search"

Modern content sharing environments such as Flickr or YouTube contain a large number of private resources such as photos showing weddings, family holidays, and private parties. These resources can be of a highly sensitive nature, disclosing many details of the users' private sphere. In order to support users in making privacy decisions in the context of image sharing and to provide them with a better overview of privacy-related visual content available on the Web, we propose techniques to automatically detect private images and to enable privacy-oriented image search. In order to classify images, we use the metadata like title and tags and plan to use visual features which are described in our scientific paper.  The data set used in the paper is now available.   Picalet! cleaned dataset - ( recommended for experiments) userstudy - (images annotated with queries, anonymized user id and privacy value)
