Introducing the Sky and the Social Eye

ABSTRACT We introduce the Sky and the Social Eye task which was run for the first time as a Grand Challenge at the 2016 ACM Multimedia Conference and as a Task Force at the 2016 MediaEval Workshop. Participants combined satellite images with social media to create a richer user experience. For the first year, the task was exploratory allowing participants to produce their own system without traditional constraints such as shared datasets or metrics. Here, we describe the task, summarize the participants' approaches and propose some future directions
