MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative dedicated to evaluating new algorithms for multimedia access and retrieval. It attracts participants who are interested in multimodal approaches to multimedia involving, e.g., speech recognition, multimedia content analysis, user-contributed information (tags, tweets), viewer affective response, social networks, temporal and geo-coordinates. MediaEval was established in 2008 as VideoCLEF, a track of CLEF, and in 2010 became an independent benchmarking initiative.
MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative for multimedia access and retrieval. MediaEval tasks are based on real-world use cases arising in human social contexts and in networked multimedia communities.
A special session entitled "Automatic Tagging and Geo-Tagging in Video Collections and Communities" with papers related to MediaEval tasks will take place at the 2011 ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (April 17-20 in Trento, Italy).
