The Video Browser Showdown (VBS) is an annual live video browsing competition where international researchers, working in the field of interactive video search, evaluate and demonstrate the efficiency of their tools. The VBS2014 will be held in conjunction with MMM 2014 on January 7 in Dublin, Ireland.
The aim of the Video Browser Showdown is to evaluate video browsing tools for their efficiency at “Known Item Search” (KIS) tasks with a well-defined data set in direct comparison with other tools. For each KIS task the searchers need to interactively find a short video clip in a one-hour video file within a specific time limit.
