The competition focuses on video retrieval scenarios in which the searched scenes were either previously observed or described by another person (i.e., an example shot is not available). During the event, nine teams competed with their video retrieval tools in providing access to a shared video collection with 600 hours of video content. Evaluation objectives, rules, scoring, tasks, and all participating tools are described in the article. In addition, we provide some insights into how the different teams interacted with their video browsers, which was made possible by a novel interaction logging mechanism introduced for this iteration of the VBS. The results collected at the VBS evaluation server confirm that searching for one particular scene in the collection when given a limited time is still a challenging task for many of the approaches that were showcased during the event. Given only a short textual description, finding the correct scene is even harder. In ad hoc search with multiple relevant scenes, the tools were mostly able to find at least one scene, whereas recall was the issue for many teams. The logs also reveal that even though recent exciting advances in machine learning narrow the classical semantic gap problem, user-centric interfaces are still required to mediate access to specific content. Finally, open challenges and lessons learned are presented for future VBS events.}, doi = {10.1145/3295663}, url = {https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3295663} } @InProceedings{Schoeffmann2018c, author = {Schöffmann, Klaus and Bailer, Werner and Gurrin, Cathal and Awad, George M. and Lokoč, Jakub}, title = {{Interactive Video Search: Where is the User in the Age of Deep Learning?}}, booktitle = {MM '18 Proceedings of the 26th ACM international conference on Multimedia}, year = {2018}, pages = {2101--2103}, address = {New York (NY)}, month = {Oktober}, publisher = {ACM Press}, abstract = {In this tutorial we discuss interactive video search tools and methods, review their need in the age of deep learning, and explore video and multimedia search challenges and their role as evaluation benchmarks in the field of multimedia information retrieval.

However, effective retrieval of general video shots still represents an issue due to their variability, complexity and insufficiency of training sets. In addition, users can face problems trying to formulate their search intents in a given query interface. Hence, many systems still rely also on interactive human-machine cooperation to boost effectiveness of the retrieval process. In this paper, we present our experience with known-item search tasks in the Video Browser Showdown competition, where participating interactive video retrieval systems mostly rely on various similarity models. We discuss the observed difficulty of known-item search tasks, categorize employed interaction components (relying on similarity models) and inspect successful interactive known-item searches from the recent iteration of the competition. Finally, open similarity search challenges for known-item search in video are presented.}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-02224-2_8}, url = {https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-030-02224-2_8} } @Article{SchoeffmannIJMIR2013, author = {Schoeffmann, Klaus and Ahlström, David and Bailer, Werner and Cobarzan, Claudiu and Hopfgartner, Frank and McGuinness, Kevin and Gurrin, Cathal and Frisson, Christian and Le, Duy-Dinh and Del Fabro, Manfred and Bai, Hongliang and Weiss, Wolfgang}, journal = {International Journal of Multimedia Information Retrieval}, title = {The Video Browser Showdown: a live evaluation of interactive video search tools}, year = {2013}, month = {dec}, pages = {1-15}, address = {Berlin, Germany}, language = {EN}, publisher = {Springer} } @InProceedings{Bailer2013, author = {Bailer, Werner and Schoeffmann, Klaus and Ahlström, David and Weiss, Wolfgang and Del Fabro, Manfred}, booktitle = {Advances in Multimedia Modeling}, title = {Interactive Evaluation of Video Browsing Tools}, year = {2013}, address = {Berlin Heidelberg}, editor = {Li, Shipeng and El-Saddik, Abdulmotaleb and Wang, Meng and Mei, Tao and Sebe, Nicu and Yan, Shuicheng and Hong, Richang and Gurrin, Cathal}, month = {jan}, pages = {81-91}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science Volume 7732}, abstract = {The Video Browser Showdown (VBS) is a live competition for evaluating video browsing tools regarding their efficiency at known-item search (KIS) tasks.
