For his continuous support of the International Conference on MultiMedia Modeling (MMM) and his ongoing contributions to the MMM community, yesterday Assoc.Prof. Klaus Schöffmann was awarded with the MMM’22 Community Leadership Award at the Gala Dinner in Phu Quoc, Vietnam.
Over two days (June 6-7, 2022) the 11th Video Browser Showdown (VBS) – www.videobrowsershowdown.org, co-organized by Klaus Schöffmann, took place in Phu Quoc, Vietnam. Sixteen teams participated in about six hours of competition to solve video content search tasks in a large video dataset (V3C1+V3C2), comprising 2300 hours of video content (17235 video files). Eleven teams on site, together with 5 more teams online, accepted the challenge, competed with each other, and showcased their state-of-the-art video search systems to the conference public of MMM 2022 (http://mmm2022.org). Congratulations to the winning teams of different search categories: vibro (Germany), CVHunter (Czech Republic), VISIONE (Italy).
This years´s “Lange Nacht der Forschung” took place on May 20, 2022. The LNDF is Austria´s most significant national research event to present the accomplishments to the broad public. ITEC was represented by three stations and involved in the station of Computer Games and Engineering, and it was a fantastic experience for everyone! We tried to make our research easily understandable for everyone.
We are happy that our tutorial on Open Challenges of Interactive Video Search and Evaluation (by Jakub Lokoc, Klaus Schöffmann, Werner Bailer, Luca Rossetto, and Björn Thor Jonsson) has been accepted for ACM Multimedia (ACMMM 2022), to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, in October 2022.
The 5th Annual Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC 2022), co-organized by Klaus Schöffmann, will be this year’s grand challenge at the ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR 2022) in Newark, NJ, USA. More information here: https://www.icmr2022.org/program/challenges/
