21st International Conference on Content-based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI 2024).
18-20 September 2024, Reykjavik, Iceland – https://cbmi2024.org/

Despite the advances in automated content description using deep learning, and the emergence of joint image-text embedding models, many video retrieval tasks still require a human user in the loop. Interactive video retrieval (IVR) systems address these challenges. In order to assess their performance, multimedia retrieval benchmarks such as Video Browser Showdown (VBS) or Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) have been established. These benchmarks provide large-scale datasets as well as task settings and evaluation protocols, allowing to measure progress in research on IVR systems. However, in order to achieve the best possible performance of the participating systems, they are usually operated by members of the development team. This special session aims at providing better insights into how such systems are usable by users with a solid IT background, but not familiar with the details behind the system.

The submitted retrieval systems will be presented as demos (with a related poster), and compete in a novice competition. Volunteer attendees, who are not related to the developer team of any participating IVR system, but have seen the systems in the demo session, will use them to solve a small number of Video Browser Showdown tasks.
