Registration open for ImageCLEF 2006

Registration is now open for ImageCLEF 2006, a benchmarking event for retrieval from image collections. ImageCLEF is part of CLEF, the Cross Language Evaluation Forum (www.clef-campaign.org/). Registration forms can be obtained via the CLEF web page and registration is free of charge.

Main goal is to evaluate the performance of information retrieval applications from image collections based on visual features, multilingual text, and particularly based on combinations of the two.

Several tracks are available for image classification, interactive retrieval, and domain-specific applications (home photography and medical collections). A flyer and some more information can be found on the ImageCLEF web page (ir.shef.ac.uk/imageclef/). More information on the exact tasks for 2006 will be made available shortly.
