A picture is worth a thousand words. A personal photo collection may reveal the complex social interactions between the person and his/her social contacts. As digital cameras have become increasingly pervasive, people are empowered to capture many aspects of their daily activities and social interactions with minimal effort. This research explores the hypothesis that social connections can be extracted from knowledge about the people and events in the pictures. This thesis defines the personal social network (PSN) as a model of personal social behavior, and proposes a practical approach to weaving a personal photo collection into a PSN. The resulting model is used to make photo sharing recommendations by spreading activation over the PSN. The experimental results showed that the PSN constructed automatically from photos can achieve good performance, yielding an average precision of 80 % with a recall of 75%.

Many people in and around the Intelligent Agent Lab gave me valuable advice and friendship during my thesis work. Without your kind support, this work would not been possible. This thesis is dedicated to all of those people that ever accompanied, encouraged and helped me. First, I would like to thank my dear advisor and mentor, Jane Yung-jen Hsu, for showing me the gate to do the research. I thank her for all the encouragement, direction, and flexibility that she gave me. From her, I learned not only the positive research attitude but also the positive perspective on life. Seconde, I would like to thank my mom and my dad for their encouragement and love. Thanks dad for always preparing delicious fruit for me to keep healthy. Thanks mom for always reminding me of eating dinner on time. I love you two. Third, I would like to thank Wan-rong Jih, one of the senior in my lab, for her kindness and friendship. Thanks her for always giving me support and advise when I got into trouble. Fourth, thank all members in multi-agent research group, David Chawei Hsu,
