    This paper presents an overview of the ImageCLEF 2018 evaluation campaign, an event that was organized as part of the CLEF (Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum) Labs 2018. ImageCLEF is an ongoing initiative (it started in 2003) that promotes the evaluation of technologies for annotation, indexing and retrieval with the aim of providing information access to collections of images in various usage scenarios and domains. In 2018, the 16th edition of ImageCLEF ran three main tasks and a pilot task: (1) a caption prediction task that aims at predicting the caption of a figure from the biomedical literature based only on the figure image; (2) a tuberculosis task that aims at detecting the tuberculosis type, severity and drug resistance from CT (Computed Tomography) volumes of the lung; (3) a LifeLog task (videos, images and other sources) about daily activities understanding and moment retrieval, and (4) a pilot task on visual question answering where systems are tasked with answering medical questions. The strong participation, with over 100 research groups registering and 31 submitting results for the tasks, shows an increasing interest in this benchmarking campaign

    Organiser Team at ImageCLEFlifelog 2020: A Baseline Approach for Moment Retrieval and Athlete Performance Prediction using Lifelog Data

    For the LMRT task at ImageCLEFlifelog 2020, LIFER 3.0, a new version of the LIFER system with improvements in the user interface and system affordance, is used and evaluated via feedback from a user experiment. In addition, since both tasks share a common dataset, LIFER 3.0 borrows some features from the LifeSeeker system deployed for the Lifelog Search Challenge; which are free-text search, visual similarity search and elastic sequencing filter. For the SPLL task, we proposed a naive solution by capturing the rate of change in running speed and weight, then obtain the target changes for each subtask using average computation and linear regression model. The results presented in this paper can be used as comparative baselines for other participants in the ImageCLEFlifelog 2020 challenge.publishedVersio

    Overview of ImageCLEFlifelog 2018: daily living understanding and lifelog moment retrieval

    Benchmarking in Multimedia and Retrieval related research fields has a long tradition and important position within the community. Benchmarks such as the MediaEval Multimedia Benchmark or CLEF are well established and also served by the community. One major goal of these competitions beside of comparing different methods and approaches is also to create or promote new interesting research directions within multimedia. For example the Medico task at MediaEval with the goal of medical related multimedia analysis. Although lifelogging creates a lot of attention in the community which is shown by several workshops and special session hosted about the topic. Despite of that there exist also some lifelogging related benchmarks. For example the previous edition of the lifelogging task at ImageCLEF. The last years ImageCLEFlifelog task was well received but had some barriers that made it difficult for some researchers to participate (data size, multi modal features, etc.) The ImageCLEFlifelog 2018 tries to overcome these problems and make the task accessible for an even broader audience (eg, pre-extracted features are provided). Furthermore, the task is divided into two subtasks (challenges). The two challenges are lifelog moment retrieval (LMRT) and the Activities of Daily Living understanding (ADLT). All in all seven teams participated with a total number of 41 runs which was an significant increase compared to the previous year

    This paper presents an overview of the foreseen ImageCLEF 2019 lab that will be organized as part of the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum - CLEF Labs 2019. ImageCLEF is an ongoing evaluation initiative (started in 2003) that promotes the evaluation of technologies for annotation, indexing and retrieval of visual data with the aim of providing information access to large collections of images in various usage scenarios and domains. In 2019, the 17th edition of ImageCLEF will run four main tasks: (i) a Lifelog task (videos, images and other sources) about daily activities understanding, retrieval and summarization, (ii) a Medical task that groups three previous tasks (caption analysis, tuberculosis prediction, and medical visual question answering) with newer data, (iii) a new Coral task about segmenting and labeling collections of coral images for 3D modeling, and (iv) a new Security task addressing the problems of automatically identifying forged content and retrieve hidden information. The strong participation, with over 100 research groups registering and 31 submitting results for the tasks in 2018 shows an important interest in this benchmarking campaign and we expect the new tasks to attract at least as many researchers for 2019

    Overview of imageCLEFlifelog 2019: solve my life puzzle and lifelog Moment retrieval

    This paper describes ImageCLEFlifelog 2019, the third edition of the Lifelog task. In this edition, the task was composed of two subtasks (challenges): the Lifelog Moments Retrieval (LMRT) challenge that followed the same format as in the previous edition, and the Solve My Life Puzzle (Puzzle), a brand new task that focused on rearranging lifelog moments in temporal order. ImageCLEFlifelog 2019 received noticeably higher submissions than the previous editions, with ten teams participating resulting in a total number of 109 runs

    This paper presents an overview of the 2020 ImageCLEF lab that will be organized as part of the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum - CLEF Labs 2020 in Thessaloniki, Greece. ImageCLEF is an ongoing evaluation initiative (run since 2003) that promotes the evaluation of technologies for annotation, indexing and retrieval of visual data with the aim of providing information access to large collections of images in various usage scenarios and domains. In 2020, the 18th edition of ImageCLEF will organize four main tasks: (i) a Lifelog task (videos, images and other sources) about daily activity understanding, retrieval and summarization, (ii) a Medical task that groups three previous tasks (caption analysis, tuberculosis prediction, and medical visual question answering) with new data and adapted tasks, (iii) a Coral task about segmenting and labeling collections of coral images for 3D modeling, and a new (iv) Web user interface task addressing the problems of detecting and recognizing hand drawn website UIs (User Interfaces) for generating automatic code. The strong participation, with over 235 research groups registering and 63 submitting over 359 runs for the tasks in 2019 shows an important interest in this benchmarking campaign. We expect the new tasks to attract at least as many researchers for 2020

    LifeSeeker 2.0: interactive lifelog search engine at LSC 2020

    In this paper we present our interactive lifelog retrieval engine in the LSC’20 comparative benchmarking challenge. The LifeSeeker 2.0 interactive lifelog retrieval engine is developed by both Dublin City University and Ho Chi Minh University of Science, which represents an enhanced version of the two corresponding interactive lifelog retrieval engines in LSC’19. The implementation of LifeSeeker 2.0 has been designed to focus on the searching by text query using a Bag-of-Words model with visual concept augmentation and additional improvements in query processing time, enhanced result display and browsing support, and interacting with visual graphs for both query and filter purposes
