Individual and user group attributes discovery and comparison from social media visual content

A method and system are provided. The method includes deriving a set of user attributes from an aggregate analysis of images and videos of a user. The deriving step includes recognizing, by a set of visual classifiers, semantic concepts in the images and videos of the user to generate visual classifier scores. The deriving step further includes deriving, by a statistical aggregator, the set of user attributes. The set of user attributes are derived by mapping the visual classifier scores to a taxonomy of semantic categories to be recognized in visual content. The deriving step also includes displaying, by an interactive user interface having a display, attribute profiles for the attributes and comparisons of the attribute profiles.
