1. A method comprising: analyzing, via a computing device, a collection of user generated content (UGC) images to identify a first image, said first image having associated social data indicating user interest in the first image below a social threshold; parsing, via the computing device, the first image to extract raw image data, said raw image data comprising features associated with content of the first image; identifying, via the computing device, a set of second images from the UGC collection, said second set of images being high-quality images, said identifying comprising identifying the raw image data of each of the second images; comparing, via the computing device, the raw image data of the first image with the raw image data of the second images, said comparison comprising identifying a similarity between the raw image data of the first image and the raw image data of each second image in accordance with a comparison threshold; determining, via the computing device, whether the first image is a high-quality image based on the comparison, said high-quality determination based on whether the similarity between the raw image data of the first image and the raw image data of each second image satisfies the comparison threshold; and communicating, via the computing device, information associated with the first image to at least one user when said first image is determined to be a high-quality image.
