8. MediaEval History
• MediaEval
was
founded
as
VideoCLEF
in
2008.
• Ran
in
2008
and
2009
at
the
Cross
Language
Evalua$on
Forum
(CLEF)
and
became
MediaEval
in
2010.
• Ran
in
2010
and
2011
as
an
independent
benchmark
under
the
sponsorship
of
the
PetaMedia
Network
of
Excellence.
• In
2012,
ran
as
a
completely
“boiom-‐up
benchmark”
with
no
parent
project.
9. Where are we now in year five?
• Wider
MedialEval
community
has
grown:
148
people
took
$me
to
fill
in
the
2012
survey.
• From,
2008-‐1012
we
have
generated
100
papers
(VideoCLEF
+
MediaEval
Working
Notes
Proceedings
plus
other
workshop,
conference
and
journal
papers
that
use
MediaEval

• We

track
to
incubate
promising
tasks
and
allow
them
to
mature
to
full
tasks.
