The Placing Task at MediaEval 2015

The sixth edition of the Placing Task at MediaEval introduces two new sub-tasks: (1) locale-based placing, which emphasizes the need to move away from an evaluation purely based on latitude and longitude towards an entity-centered evaluation, and (2) mobility-based placing, which addresses predicting missing locations within a sequence of movements; the latter is a specific real-world use case that so far has received little attention within the research community. Two additional changes over the previous years are the introduction of open source organizer baselines for both sub-tasks shortly after the offcial data release, and the implementation of a live leaderboard, which allows the participants to gain insights into the effectiveness of their approaches compared to the offcial baselines and in relation to each other at an early stage, before the actual run submissions are due.
