Overview of MediaEval 2020 Predicting Media Memorability Task: What Makes a Video Memorable? (2012.15650v1)

Abstract: This paper describes the MediaEval 2020 \textit{Predicting Media Memorability} task. After first being proposed at MediaEval 2018, the Predicting Media Memorability task is in its 3rd edition this year, as the prediction of short-term and long-term video memorability (VM) remains a challenging task. In 2020, the format remained the same as in previous editions. This year the videos are a subset of the TRECVid 2019 Video-to-Text dataset, containing more action rich video content as compared with the 2019 task. In this paper a description of some aspects of this task is provided, including its main characteristics, a description of the collection, the ground truth dataset, evaluation metrics and the requirements for participants' run submissions.
