Multimedia COMMONS Workshop 2016 (MMCommons'16)
Bart Thomée, Damian Borth, Julia Bernd · 2016
Leveraged wisely, new datasets can inspire new multimedia methods and algorithms, as well as catalyze innovations in how their efficacy, efficiency, and generalizability can be evaluated. The availability of very large multimedia datasets like the Yahoo-Flickr Creative Commons 100 Million has offered unique opportunities for advancing the state of the art in multimedia processing, analysis, search, and visualization. The Multimedia Commons Initiative has been developing a community around the YFCC100M, including associated annotation and evaluation efforts. In addition to research in several multimedia subfields, including computer vision, image processing, and video content analysis, the YFCC100M and Multimedia Commons resources have been used in various competitions and benchmarks, such as the MediaEval Placing Task and the ACM Multimedia Grand Challenge competition. With additional annotation and curation, the data has the potential to enable major leaps forward in research.
