Photos don't have me, but how do you know me?: Analyzing and predicting users on instagram

초록

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis on social media use and engagement by age and gender on Instagram. We define five user age groups (from 10s to 50s) and two user gender groups (males and females), and compare them based on three aspects: Activity, image object, and tag. We especially excluded the information that indicates human (e.g., selfies, faces, body) for each aspect in order to examine whether users are still identifiable without that information. Our study results indicate that each user group exhibits unique characteristics and the features from each aspect can be used to develop user classification models (82% for gender and 43% for age classification) without relying on the information that specifically indicates age and gender.
