The Multimedia Evaluation Benchmark (MediaEval) offers challenges in the form of shared tasks. The goal of MediaEval is to develop and evaluate new algorithms and technologies for multimedia retrieval, analysis and exploration. MediaEval tasks are innovative, involving multiple modalities, (e.g., images, video, music, user interaction data, sensor data, lifelogging data) and focusing on the human and social aspects of multimedia. Our larger aim is to promote reproducible research that makes multimedia a positive force for society.
