MediaEval 2013 Multimedia Benchmark
Call for Survey Participation
***********************************

MediaEval (http://www.multimediaeval.org) is a benchmarking initiative
dedicated to evaluating new algorithms for multimedia access and
retrieval. It emphasizes the 'multi' in multimedia and focuses on
human and social aspects of multimedia tasks. MediaEval attracts
participants who are interested in multimodal approaches to multimedia
involving, e.g., speech recognition, visual analysis, music and audio
analysis, user-contributed information (tags, comments, tweets),
viewer affective response, social networks, geo-coordinates and
non-linear video access.

The MediaEval 2013 season kicks off with the MediaEval 2013 Survey.
The survey is used to collect your opinion on which tasks should be
offered by MediaEval 2013. If you are interested in participating in
MediaEval 2013, please fill out the survey:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/mediaeval2013

The survey will take you about 5 minutes if you fill in only the main
questions. There are 12 main questions, which are multiple choice
questions that collect your opinion on each of the 12 tasks that have
been proposed for MediaEval 2013. The survey will take you about 25
minutes if you choose to answer the additional questions and give
comments. (We encourage you to answer the additional questions on the
tasks that most interest you.)

The MediaEval 2013 task list will be finalized in late February and
sign up for participation will open at the beginning of March. Please
be sure to fill your email address in on the first page of the survey
if you would like to receive a mail when sign up opens.

Our goal is to have the survey filled out by as many researchers as
possible by 15th February --- please pass the survey link along to
colleagues who might be interested.

Note that the deadline for submission of task results to MediaEval
2013 will be early to mid-September and the workshop will be held in
October in Barcelona, coordinated with the timing of (but not
overlapping) ACM Multimedia 2013 (http://acmmm13.org/).
