Call for Participation in the Placing Task (Geotag Prediction for Videos)
MediaEval 2011 Benchmark Evaluation
http://www.multimediaeval.org/
MediaEval 2011 is offering a "Placing task" involving automatic
prediction of location (geotags) for a
set of Flickr videos based on textual tags and visual features.
Groups interested in participating
can sign up by 31 May 2011 at http://www.multimediaeval.org/ The data
set contains a set of geotagged
Flickr videos and the metadata for geotagged Flickr
images. We also provide a set of basic visual features
extracted for all images and for
keyframes from the videos. Evaluation of runs submitted by participating
groups will be based on the distance
between the predicted and the actual geo-coordinates. Ground truth is
supplied by the Flickr users who
uploaded the videos and the images. All videos and images are shared by
their owners under a Creative
Commons license.
MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative that offers tasks promoting
research and innovation on
multimodal approaches to multimedia access and retrieval. MediaEval 2011
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 2011 workshop, which
will be held on September 1 - 2, 2011 in Pisa, Italy, and is
a satellite workshop of Interspeech 2011.

multimedia access and retrieval.
The Placing Task is organized by EU FP7 GLOCAL: Event-based Retrieval of
Networked Media.
