While the Internet develops rapidly, a huge amount of image data collected from smart phones, digital cameras and black boxes are being shared through social media sites. Generally, social images are handled by tagging them with information. Due to the ease of sharing multimedia and the explosive increase in the amount of tag information, it may be considered too much hassle by some users to put the tags on images. Image retrieval is likely to be less accurate when tags are absent or mislabeled. In this paper, we suggest a method of extracting tags from social images by using image content. In this method, CNN(Convolutional Neural Network) is trained using ImageNet images with labels in the training set, and it extracts labels from instagram images. We use the extracted labels for automatic image tagging. The experimental results show that the accuracy is higher than that of instagram retrievals.

In this paper we introduce two experimental results from classification of Instagram images and some valuable lessons from them. We have tried some experiments for evaluating the competitive power of Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) in classification of real social network images such as Instagram images. We used AlexNet and ResNet, which showed the most outstanding capabilities in ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge(ILSVRC) 2012 and 2015, respectively. And we used 240 Instagram images and 12 pre-defined categories for classifying social network images. Also, we performed fine-tuning using Inception V3 model, and compared those results. In the results of four cases of AlexNet, ResNet, Inception V3 and fine-tuned Inception V3, the Top-1 error rates were 49.58%, 40.42%, 30.42%, and 5.00%. And the Top-5 error rates were 35.42%, 25.00%, 20.83%, and 0.00% respectively.

This study is about classical music lovers who write a lengthy concert review on instagram. The intention and objective of writing a review is discussed in addition to inter-communication between those reviewers. For the analysis, an interview with 8 reviewers are mainly analyzed with their reviews. As a result, it is found that some affordances of Instagram, easiness, randomness, and friendliness affects them to use Instagram more than other social media. Hence, since Instagram is image-based platform, it helps writers to keep their reviews from getting an attention by other users. Because of their sense of inferiority that they are lacking in classical music knowledge, continuous writing and reading of reviews help them accumulating some amount of cultural capital needed for understanding classical music in a proper way.

SNS의 다양한 역기능과 함께 중독문제가 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있는 가운데 이미지 기반의 인스타그램이 강세를 보인다. 이에 본 연구는 SNS중에서 이용도가 높은 인스타그램 사용제한 시 사용자의 감정에 미치는 영향과 대안 활동을 파악하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 실험 방법은 인스타그램 1일 5회 이상 이용자 3명을 대상으로 7일간 앱 삭제 및 이용을 제한하고 매일 1인칭 관찰기법인 자기 일기 작성으로 감정변화와 대안 활동을 수집했다. 본 연구의 결과는 사용 빈도수가 높을수록 시간이 흘러도 부정적 감정이 감소하지 않았고 사용 빈도수가 낮을수록 부정적 감정이 점차 감소하였다. 대안 활동으로는 오프라인 활동보다는 온라인 활동이 많았고 여러 종류의 스마트폰 미디어 활동을 한 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 나아가 의존도에 따라 부정적 감정소강 소요 시간을 측정하는 연구로 발전될 것을 기대하며 이에 따라 SNS중독성 해결에 필요한 시간, 대안 활동 제시의 연구 초석이 되길 기대한다.

Instagram, a photo and image centered social networking service, has received increasing attention these days, from scholars and practitioners. However, little is known about the social and psychological factors that lead consumers to use this service. To provide a baseline understanding on Instagram users, the current study was conducted to discover perfectionistic self-presentation tendency expressed by the Instagram users and explore the relationships between identified perfectionistic self-presentation and intention to use Instagram variables with 250 participants. In addition, this study tried to determine the moderator effect of self-efficacy and self-construal. A comprehensive survey was directed and a total of 380 participants were recruited to verify anticipated hypotheses and research questions. The research results suggest that perfectionistic self-presentation has five sub factors: others conscious self-presentation, subjective self-presentation, environmental adaptation self-presentation, self-expansion self-presentation, and social self-presentation. The implications of this research findings are discussed.

Design exists behind technology. Design is intertwined with the needs of daily life and market structures, and while dealing with technology, it can become insensitive to its meaning. Unlike other social media platforms, Instagram consists of image-based content. The purpose of this study is to examine the addictive design of Instagram. Furthermore, we discuss the ethical responsibilities that designers must have. A theoretical framework for understanding Instagram design is established through a review of major domestic and international literature that has been previously studied. Understand the history, structure, and functions of Instagram and identify Instagram designs that promote social media addiction. In this study, we introduced the mechanism by which Instagram promotes user addiction through design issues. (1) Pull-to-Refresh (2) Red color in push alarm (3) Profile photo border expression in Instagram Story. This design stimulates users' social desires and FOMO, forming the structure of obsessive Instagram usage habits. Instagram is an example that forces us to reconsider the ethical role of design and designers along with the advancement of technology. In today's world, the intrinsic value of what they create, including our society and life itself.
