UPMC-LIP6 at TrecVid'08: Balanced and Unbalanced Forests of Fuzzy Decision Trees for High-Level Feature Detection

In this paper, we present the methodology we applied in our submission to the NIST TRECVID’2008 evaluation. We participated in the High-level Feature Extraction task. Our approach is based on the use of a Forest of Fuzzy Decision Trees constructed by means of either a balanced sampling of the development data, or an unbalanced sampling of the development data.
