Multimedia retrieval at INEX 2007

ABSTRACT

Structured document retrieval from XML documents allows for the retrieval of XML document fragments, i.e., XML elements or passages, that contain relevant information. The main INEX Ad Hoc task focuses on text-based XML retrieval. The INEX Multimedia track considers types of media other than text and its objective is to exploit the XML structure that provides a logical level at which multimedia objects are connected, in order to improve the retrieval performance of an XML-driven multimedia information retrieval system. To this end, it provides an evaluation platform for the retrieval of multimedia documents and document fragments. In addition, it creates a discussion forum where the participating groups can exchange their ideas on different aspects of the multimedia XML retrieval task.
