NEW! multimedia access benchmarking initiative

MediaEval is a benchmarking initiative to promote research and innovation on multimodel approaches to multimedia access and retrieval. We aim to focus on novel and innovative tasks integrating various combinations of speech, language, social and visual features. MediaEval builds on work initiated wthin the CLEF workshop series.


FIRE 2011 - Personalised Information Retrieval

CNGL is coordinating a task exploring evaluation of Personalised Information Retrieval (PIR) at the Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE 2011). Details of the task can be found at the PIR task weebsite
