Short summary of your TREC2002 video track activities for overview paper - required NOW

["Prof. Alan Smeaton" <asmeaton@computing.dcu.ie>]

TREC Video colleagues

A while ago I sent around a message asking for a short summary of what
you did in TREC video track this year, to help Paul and I write the
overview paper for the notebook proceedings.  This overview paper will
describe the track, the task, data, evaluation measures and a summary of
results, and will also have a short soundbite on what each group did.

I've had input from 6 groups (Imperial/Bristol, CLIPS-IMAG, CWI, NUS
Singapore, MSR Asia and ourselves), and many thanks to all for that, but
there are 10 other groups who did something in this year's video track
who have yet to get back to me.

I haven't hassled you about this because I knew you were all writing
your overview papers for next Monday, but right *NOW*, I need a couple
of paragraphs from each of the 10 groups yet to reply to me.  So, hit
the "REPLY" button on your email client, and type up 4 or 5 lines.

Many thanks.

- Alan

Subject: Input required for TREC Video Track overview paper


Dear TREC Video Track participants

Paul and I have to write an overview paper describing the track
activities, for the TREC notebook paper, and we have the same deadline
as you ... Nov 3.

Could each of you who participated in the shot bound detection, feature
detection, and/or search tasks send me a couple of paragraphs for this
overview, outlining what you did, thanks.
