The Search and Hyperlinking Task at MediaEval 2014

The Search and Hyperlinking Task at MediaEval 2014 is the third edition of this task. As in previous versions, it con-sisted of two sub-tasks: (i) answering search queries from a collection of roughly 2700 hours of BBC broadcast TV mate-rial, and (ii) linking anchor segments from within the videos to other target segments within the video collection. For MediaEval 2014, both sub-tasks were based on an ad-hoc retrieval scenario, and were evaluated using a pooling pro-cedure across participants submissions with crowdsourcing relevance assessment using Amazon Mechanical Turk. 1
