MediaEval 2016 Multimedia Evaluation Benchmark Call for Task Proposals Proposal Deadline: 8 January 2016
MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative dedicated to developing and evaluating new algorithms and technologies for multimedia retrieval, access and exploration. It offers tasks to the research community that are related to human and social aspects of multimedia. MediaEval emphasizes the 'multi' in multimedia and seeks tasks involving multiple modalities, e.g., audio, visual, textual, and/or contextual.
MediaEval is now calling for proposals for tasks to run in the 2016 benchmarking season. The proposal consists of a description of the motivation for the task and challenges that task participants must address. It provides information on the data and evaluation methodology to be used. The proposal also includes a statement of how the task is related to MediaEval (i.e., its human or social component), and how it extends the state of the art in an area related to multimedia indexing, search or other technologies that support users in accessing multimedia collections.
For more detailed information about the content of the task proposal, please see:
Task proposals are chosen on the basis of their feasibility, their match with the topical focus of MediaEval, and also according to the outcome of a survey circulated to the wider multimedia research community.
The MediaEval 2016 Workshop is scheduled for 20-21 October 2016 in the Netherlands (just after ACM Multimedia 2016).
