Work Package 4: Event-Enriched Multimedia GLOCAL Search
Lead partner: YIS
The objective of this work package is to provide solutions for multimedia search in an event-enriched environment, on an Internet scale. Events can be classified in multiple ways (e.g. financial events vs. political events, personal events vs. public events). We are also interested in organizing detected events by different categories. In order to do that, the essential elements of an event, such as the related persons, time, and location, should be extracted from multimedia objects correctly. Effective information extraction techniques should be employed and developed in this regard. The tasks in this work package center on temporal and spatial evolution of event mining and search. There are more than 50 million geo-tagged images from Flickr, more than 100 million additional images from Flickr, and large amounts of tagged data from other news and Internet sources available for the project.
