Call for Task Proposals: Multimedia Evaluation 2017

MediaEval 2017 Multimedia Evaluation Benchmark

Call for Task Proposals

Proposal Deadline: 3 December 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 2017 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 proposal deadline: 3 December 2016

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 2017 Workshop will be held 13-15 September 2017 in Dublin, Ireland, co-located with CLEF 2017 (http://clef2017.clef-initiative.eu)
