Abstract(in English) We report a study on geo-regional similarity calculation based on the contents of social photos. When we visit a place we have never visited, we want to know the atmosphere intuitively. Although it is difficult for a traveler to know the atmosphere of a place where he/she has never visited, it could be imagined if he/she can know the similarity to another place where he/she already knows. To calculate the geo-regional similarity, we analyze contents of social photos taken in each geo-region and use them as features to describe the atmosphere of each geo-region in terms of interests of many people. Through an experiment, we confirmed that the proposed geo-regional similarity is a good metric in terms of interests of people.
