Comments

• Much support
• Need for training data
• More realistic tasks (medical)

• Challenging data set (medical)


• French, English, mixed and empty datasets
• Abbreviations (non standard), spelling errors,
incomplete phrases
• Very varied set of images in JPEG, different resolution
and quality

Our goals

• 2004: Combine textual and visual retrieval


• Goal was reached as there were several mixed
submissions
• Hope to foster cooperation between visual and textual
groups at the event (complementary approaches)
• 2005: Optimise textual/visual retrieval
• This year’s data can be training data
• Attract more machine learning techniques
• Query dependent optimisation?

• 2006: region-based querying, real world tasks

Data sets

• Getting data for image retrieval evaluation is hard


• Stop the St. Andrews collection (?)
• Getty images, Corbis data sets available
• Terms and conditions are important
• Web retrieval task, multi-lingual
• IRMA dataset: 10.000 medical images for
classification (annotated with four axis code)
• National Library of Medicine (NLM)
• Larger number of medical images together with
casimage
• MIRC (medical image resource centre, RSNA), OHSU

Tasks in imageCLEF

• Web retrieval task on images


• Colour image retrieval task similar to St. Andrews
(getty, corbis)
• Medical image retrieval task will be continued
• Image classification subtask
• Textual image description
• Interactive imageCLEF?
• Integrate into iCLEF
• User interface comparison
• Query speed

Funding

• William Hersh, OHSU


• Cooperation grant between semanticMining (FP6) and
genomics track at TREC (NSF)
• Goal is cooperation and imageCLEF
• Some restrictions with respect to spending
• Master student for 12-18 months, travel
• Goals
• Survey among imaging system users
• Gather medical image data sets
• Help with the relevance assessments

• But: we need funding for our activities here as well
