TRECVID 2021

TRECVID is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) with additional support from other U.S. government agencies. The goal of the workshop is to encourage research in content-based video retrieval by providing a large test collection, uniform scoring procedures, and a forum for organizations interested in comparing their results. This year TRECVID tracks included: Ad-hoc Video Search, Instance Search, Video Summarization, Video-to-Text, Disaster Scene Description & Indexing, and Activity Detection in Extended Videos.

Due to the global Pandemic situation, the annual TREC Video Retrieval (TRECVID) workshop in 2021 will be virtual running for 4 days from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM EST time to accommodate most time zones. The workshop audience are mainly those who took part in one or more tasks of the TRECVID2021 evaluation benchmark. External researchers from academia and/or industry are also encouraged to attend (please contact us first).

This year TRECVID workshop will be joined by the OpenMFC (Open Media Forensics Challenge) workshop. Please refer to the OpenMFC agenda for detailed information and agenda"
