AI4Media is a 4-year-long project funded under the
European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, the project aspires to
become a Centre of Excellence engaging a wide network of researchers across Europe and
beyond, focusing on delivering the next generation of core AI advances and training to
serve the Media sector, while ensuring that the European values of ethical and trustworthy
AI are embedded in future AI deployments.
AI4Media is composed by 30 leading partners in the areas of AI and media (9 Universities,
9 Research Centres, 12 industrial organisations) and a large pool of associate members,
that will establish the networking infrastructure to bring together the currently fragmented
European AI landscape in the field of media, and foster deeper and long-running interactions
between academia and industry.
Furthermore, the project envisages a close collaboration with AI4EU platform in the form of
integrating the project’s outputs such as modules, services and algorithms into the AI4EU
platform, as well as, establish interactions with the AI4EU network. Moreover, AI4Media
will also seek to maximize interactions with relevant Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) across
Europe and other national initiatives.
AI4MediaBench is a powerful framework for running competitions using result or code submissions.
You can participate in an existing competition or host your own competition for free.
Most competitions hosted on AI4MediaBench are machine learning (data science) competitions,
but it is NOT limited to this application domain.
It can accommodate any problem for which a solution can be provided in the form of a zip
archive containing a number of files to be evaluated quantitatively by a scoring program
(provided by the organizers). The scoring program must return a numeric score, which is
displayed on a leaderboard where the performances of participants are compared.
AIMultimediaLab is a research lab located
within the CAMPUS Research Institute of
National University of Science and Technology Politehnica Bucharest.
The AI Multimedia Lab has its roots back in 2007 with the creation of the Video Analysis
and Processing Group, Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology,
evolving in the current format in 2016. Currently, the lab is specialized in developing
and benchmarking Artificial Intelligence algorithms, e.g., machine learning, deep learning,
information retrieval, for various multimedia applications, such as surveillance & security,
media, medicine, fintech, networking, to mention but a few. The lab was entrusted with various
research grants, both national and international, strategic and research oriented,
for academia and industry.
AI4MediaBench will be hosting the ImageCLEF 2024 benchmarking campaigns!
