Eurovision – an image-based CLIR system
Mark Sanderson · 2002
This short position paper outlines the aims of the Eurovision project, which will explore cross language retrieval of images via their text captions. We propose that CLEF, as a part of its future works, examine retrieval of multimedia data. By describing the areas to be explored by Eurovision, the paper shall show how multimedia retrieval across languages promotes exploration of interaction, requires potentially more sophisticated language processing, and ultimately stimulates research in an area of CLIR where there appears to be commercial potential. Finally, we propose that CLEF use the Eurovision image collection that is currently being built.
