ShoeBox: A Natural Way of Organizing Pictures According to User's Affinities

In this paper we tackle the problem of personalizing the experience of browsing through digital pictures. We address two questions: how to capture the user's personal affinity for a particular picture and how to visualize a large collection of pictures. We propose a novel approach towards organizing pictures called ShoeBox that aims for automatic capturing of the user's affinity for individual pictures.
