Grand Challenge Winners? In a way :)

While its certainly not the newest piece of information I’m still happy top blog about it myself: Christoph Kofler and Mathias Lux (that’s me, right) have won the Best Presentation Award of the Multimedia Grand Challenge at ACM Multimedia 2009.

It’s not the main proice, but we are quite happy with it If you want to see why we got this price, just check out the video. For more information please refer to our paper: Dynamic Presentation Adaptation based on User Intent Classification

Lire accepted for the Open Source Contest @ ACM MM

Although its quite some time ago that I got the acceptance mail I forgot to blog the good news: Lire (Lucene Image Retrieval) has been acccepted to be presented at the ACM Multimedia within the Open Source Contest track. As it is a contest I assume we have chances to win something?

Lire: Submission to the ACM Multimedia Open Source Contest 2008

I recently submitted Lire and LireDemo to the ACM Multimedia Open Source Software Competition 2008. As I’d really like to go there I hope it will judged as relevant contribution and a demo at the ACM Multimedia is requested. Note that I’ve integrated a new feature in LireDemo for the ACM Multimedia submission: Now its easier to test Lire by just indexing random photos from Flickr. By just hitting the “Index” button without giving a directory of images the download will start automatically.
