Technologies for automated context-aware media curation

A method for contextual media curation, the method comprising:

• acquiring, by a computing device, a plurality of media objects;
• capturing, by the computing device, context data associated with a context of one or more media objects of the plurality of media objects;
• generating, by the computing device, inferred context data based on the context data associated with the context of the one or more media objects;
• updating, by the computing device, a user context model based on the context data associated with the context of the one or more media objects and the inferred context data;
• generating, by the computing device, an expanded media object graph based on the context data associated with the context of the one or more media objects and the inferred context data, wherein the expanded media object graph is indicative of relationships between the plurality of media objects;
• and
• selecting, by the computing device, one or more target media objects from the plurality of media objects based on the user context model and the expanded media object graph, wherein selecting one or more target media objects from the plurality of media objects based on the user context model and the expanded media object graph comprises (i) grouping the one or more target media objects into a plurality of groupings based on the inferred context data and (ii) presenting the inferred context data used as a basis for the grouping as an explanation for each grouping of the plurality of groupings.

One or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed cause a computing device to:

• acquire a plurality of media objects;
• capture context data associated with a context of one or more media objects of the plurality of media objects;
• generate inferred context data based on the context data associated with the context of the one or more media objects;
• update a user context model based on the context data associated with the context of the one or more media objects and the inferred context data;
• generate an expanded media object graph based on the context data associated with the context of the one or more media objects and the inferred context data, wherein the expanded media object graph is indicative of relationships between the plurality of media objects;
• and
• select one or more target media objects from the plurality of media objects based on the user context model and the expanded media object graph, wherein to select one or more target media objects from the plurality of media objects based on the user context model and the expanded media object graph comprises to (i) group the one or more target media objects into a plurality of groupings based on the inferred context data and (ii) present the inferred context data used as a basis for the grouping as an explanation for each grouping of the plurality of groupings.
