MediaEval Datasets 2010-2015

Retrieving Diverse Social Images 2015
This dataset is designed to support research in the areas of information retrieval that foster new technologies for improving both the relevance and the diversification of search results with explicit focus on the social media context. The dataset consists of Creative Commons data for around 153 one-concept Flickr queries and 45,375 images for development and 139 Flickr queries (69 one-concept - 70 multi-concept) and 41,394 images for testing; metadata, Wikipedia pages and content descriptors for text and visual modalities. Data is annotated for the relevance and the diversity of the photos.

Context of Experience Task 2015
The aim of the dataset is to support the development of recommender systems, as well as computer vision and multimedia retrieval algorithms capable of automatically predicting which videos are suitable for inflight consumption. Right Inflight consists of 318 human-annotated movies, for which we provide links to trailers, a set of pre-computed low-level visual, audio and text features as well as user ratings. The annotation was performed by crowdsourcing workers, who were asked to judge the appropriateness of movies for inflight consumption.

QUESST 2014
The QUESST 2014 search dataset consists of 23 hours or around 12.500 spoken documents in: Albanian, Basque, Czech, non-native English, Romanian and Slovak (PCM encoded with 8 KHz sampling rate and 16 bit resolution).

Violent Scenes Detection (2011-2014)
The data (and the information on purchasing the movies) for the Violent Scenes Detection task has been made available by the task organizers here:
http://www.technicolor.com/en/innovation/research-innovation/scientific-data-sharing/violent-scenes-dataset
This dataset reunites data from the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 task editions.

Spoken Web Search 2013 (now called QUESST)
This multilingual database contains 20 hours of utterance audio (the data you search in), ~500 development and ~500 evaluation audio queries (the data you search for), scoring scripts and references.

Placing 2013
The Placing Task requires participants to estimate the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) of photos. This data set contains more than 8.5 million training images and more than 250,000 test images which were crawled from Flickr (all with Creative Commons license).

Visual Privacy 2013
PEViD: Privacy Evaluation Video Dataset: The dataset consists of 21 video clips (16 seconds each, full HD, 25 fps) and associated annotations in xml format of privacy-sensitive regions. Video clips show people performing various actions in indoor and outdoor environments during day and night time.

Emotion in Music 2013
Data set contains 45-second music clips extracted randomly the full songs. The 45 seconds excerpts (clips) are annotated also for the full length clips using arousal and valence levels on 9 point scale. A set of features, extracted by openSMILE, are also available with the data. The data set originally had 1000 creative common licensed songs annotated continuously (dynamically) on arousal and valence dimensions. We found some redundant songs and fixed some problems which reduced the number of songs down to 744.

Similar Segments in Social Speech 2013
This data set supports a task involving speech recordings. Input to the system is a 1-10 second audio/video region of interest, and the desired output an ordered list of regions similar to it, matching as closely as possible the judgments of human searchers.
