MediaEval 2016 Multimedia Benchmark: Call for Feedback and Participation

Each year, the Benchmarking Initiative for Multimedia Evaluation
(MediaEval) offers challenges to the multimedia research community in
the form of shared tasks. MediaEval tasks place their focus on the
human and social aspects of multimedia. We are interested in how
multimedia content can be used to produce knowledge and to create
algorithms that support people in their daily lives. Many tasks are
related to how people understand multimedia content, how they react to
it, and how they use it. We emphasize the 'multi' in multimedia:
speech, audio, music, visual content, tags, users, and context.
MediaEval attracts researchers with backgrounds in diverse areas,
including multimedia content analysis, information retrieval, speech
technology, computer vision, music information retrieval, social
computing, recommender systems.

We invite you to contribute your ideas and opinions by filling out the
MediaEval 2016 survey during the month of March:

The survey asks you for feedback on tasks planned for 2016, and also
for input on task design decisions. It will take you 5-30 minutes
depending on the level of detail in which you would like to answer.

Early registration for participation in MediaEval 2016 tasks is now open at:

The MediaEval 2016 Workshop will take place 20-21 October 2016 right
after ACM Multimedia 2016 in Amsterdam.
