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.
