Call
for Participation in the Placing task (Geotag Prediction for Videos)
MediaEval 2010 Benchmark Evaluation http://www.multimediaeval.org/ MediaEval 2010 is offering a "Placing task" involving automatic prediction of location (geotags) for a set of Flickr videos based on provided textual tags and visual features. Groups interested in participating can sign up by 31 May 2010 at http://www.multimediaeval.org/ The data set contains a set of geotagged Flickr videos (~10,000 for development and test purposes) and the metadata for geotagged Flickr images (~3.5 million). We also provide a set of basic visual features extracted for all images and for the frames of the videos. Evaluation of runs submitted by participating groups will be based on distances between the predicted and the actual geo-coordinates. Ground truth is supplied by Flickr users uploaded the videos and the images. All videos and images are shared by their owners under Creative Commons license. MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative that offers tasks promoting research and innovation on multimodal approaches to multimedia access and retrieval. MediaEval 2010 (which builds on and expands VideoCLEF 2008-2009) focuses on speech and language, but also visual and social features. Participants carry out one or more of the selected tasks and submit runs to be evaluated. Results are to be written up and presented at the MediaEval 2010 workshop, which will be held the Sunday, 24 October 2010 in Pisa, Italy. ACM Multimedia 2010 starts the next day nearby in Firenze.
