TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation

The Text REtrival Conferences (TREC)

The TREC conference series is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with additional support from other U.S. government agencies. The goal of the conference series is to encourage research in information retrieval by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations interested in comparing their results. Attendance at TREC conferences is restricted to those researchers and developers who have performed the TREC retrieval tasks and to selected government personnel.

Video Retrieval Evaluation at TREC

In 2001 and 2002 the TREC series sponsored a video "track" devoted to research in automatic segmentation, indexing, and content-based retrieval of digital video. Beginning in 2003, this track will become an independent evaluation (TRECVID) with a 2-day workshop taking place each year just before TREC.

TRECVID is coordinated by

• Alan Smeaton (Dublin City University)
• Wessel Kraaij (TNO-TPD)

• John Eakins   (University of Northumbria at Newcastle)
• Peter Enser   (University of Brighton)
• Alex Hauptmann   (CMU)
• Annemieke de Jong   (Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision)
• Michael Lew   (Leiden Insitute of Advanced Computer Science)
• Georges Quenot   (CLIPS-IMAG Laboratory)
• John Smith   (IBM)
• Richard Wright   (BBC)
