Social Event Detection evaluation task in MediaEval 2012 co-organized by SocialSensor

SocialSensor is coorganizing the 2012 Social Event Detection Task of the MediaEval Benchmark Initiative for Multimedia Evaluation. This task requires participants to discover events and detect media items that are related to either a specific social event or an event-class of interest. The task is of interest to researchers in the areas of information retrieval, multimedia content analysis, social media analysis, event detection and event-based multimedia indexing.
