On-the-Fly Video Event Search by Semantic Signatures A. Habibian, M. Mazloom, C. G. M. Snoek In ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval 2014. [bibtex] [pdf] [url]

In this technical demonstration, we showcase an event search engine that facilities instant access to an archive of web video. Different from many search engines which rely on high dimensional low-level visual features to represent videos, we rely on our proposed semantic signature. We extract semantic signature as the detection scores obtained by applying a vocabulary of 1,346 concept detectors on videos. The semantic signatures are compact, semantic and effective, as we will demonstrate for on-the-fly event retrieval using only a few positive examples. In addition, we will show how the signatures provide a crude interpretation on why a certain video has been retrieved.
