With thousands of photos and videos being uploaded every minute to social photography sharing websites – sometimes automatically after capture without much useful metadata or annotations available – it is not easy to find structure amongst all multimedia items. In this grand challenge the objective is to automatically uncover structure within a collection of 100 million photos/videos in the form of detecting and identifying events, and summarizing them succinctly for consumer consumption. Achieving the objective requires successfully bringing together multiple modalities (textual, visual, aural), multiple levels of understanding (concepts, topics, semantics, quality), and multiple ways of showcasing (presentation, visualization, interaction).
