Evaluation Conferences - Like Gladiators for the Retrieval World?
This event took place on Wednesday 05 August 2009 at 11:30
Ainhoa Llorente Coto KMi, The Open University
The purpose of this talk is to review some evaluation conferences in the field of image and video retrieval. The main goal of these evaluation conferences is to support research within the information retrieval community by providing the infrastructure necessary for large-scale evaluation of image and video retrieval methodologies. Other goals are to encourage research on large test collections, to speed the transfer of technology from research labs into commercial products, to increase the availability of appropriate evaluation techniques and finally, to include new evaluation techniques more applicable to current systems. In particular, we will talk about ImageCLEF and TRECVID and will share our experience in participating in the past calls of 2008 and 2009.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...
We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
