We present the Yahoo Flickr Creative Commons 100 Million Dataset (YFCC100M),
the largest public multimedia collection that has ever been released. The
dataset contains a total of 100 million media objects, of which approximately
99.2 million are photos and 0.8 million are videos, all of which carry a
Creative Commons license. Each media object in the dataset is represented by
several pieces of metadata, e.g. Flickr identifier, owner name, camera, title,
tags, geo, media source. The collection provides a comprehensive snapshot of
how photos and videos were taken, described, and shared over the years, from
the inception of Flickr in 2004 until early 2014. In this article we explain
the rationale behind its creation, as well as the implications the dataset has
for science, research, engineering, and development. We further present several
new challenges in multimedia research that can now be expanded upon with our
dataset.

该研究介绍了雅虎 Flickr 创意共享千万数据集 (YFCC100M)，其包含约 1 亿个多媒体对象，其中约 99.2 万个为照片，0.8 万个为视频，所有对象均带有创意共享许可证。该数据集提供了详细的元数据信息和从 2004 年到 2014 年初的照片和视频的共享情况，对于科学、研究、工程和开发等领域具有重要意义。
