General Overview of ImageCLEF at the CLEF 2016 Labs
This paper presents an overview of the ImageCLEF 2016
evaluation campaign, an event that was organized as part of the CLEF
(Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum) labs 2016. ImageCLEF
is an ongoing initiative that promotes the evaluation of technologies for
annotation, indexing and retrieval for providing information access to
collections of images in various usage scenarios and domains. In 2016,
the 14th edition of ImageCLEF, three main tasks were proposed: 1)
identification, multi-label classification and separation of compound figures
from biomedical literature; 2) automatic annotation of general web
images; and 3) retrieval from collections of scanned handwritten documents.
The handwritten retrieval task was the only completely novel task
this year, although the other two tasks introduced several modifications
to keep the proposed tasks challenging
