The MediaEval 2012 Genre Tagging Task is a follow-up task of the MediaEval 2011 Genre Tagging Task and the MediaEval 2010 Wild Wild Web Tagging Task to test and evaluate retrieval techniques for video content as it occurs on the Internet, i.e., for semi-professional user generated content that is associated with annotations existing on the Social Web. The task uses the MediaEval 2012 Tagging Task (ME12TT) dataset which is based on the whole blip10,000 collection, in contrast to the MediaEval 2010 Wild Wild Web (ME10WWW) set used in previous tasks. In this task overview paper, we describe the principal characteristics of the dataset, the task itself, and the evaluation metrics used to test the particpants’ results.
