MediaEval History • MediaEval was founded as VideoCLEF in 2008.
• Ran in 2008 and 2009 at the Cross Language Evalua$on Forum (CLEF) and became MediaEval in 2010.
• Ran in 2010 and 2011 as an independent benchmark under the sponsorship of the PetaMedia Network of Excellence.
• In 2012, ran as a completely “boiom-‐up benchmark” with no parent project.
Where are we now in year five?
• Wider MedialEval community has grown: 148 people took $me to fill in the 2012 survey.
• From, 2008-‐1012 we have generated 100 papers (VideoCLEF + MediaEval Working Notes Proceedings plus other workshop, conference and journal papers that use MediaEval data).
• We now have a new “Brave New Task” track to incubate promising tasks and allow them to mature to full tasks.
