EURECOM @ MediaEval 2011 Social Event Detection Task

In this paper, we present our approach and results of the MediaEval 2011 social event detection (SED) task. We solve the event detection problem in three steps. First, we query all event instances that happened given some condition. Then, an event identication model is proposed to measure the relationship between events and photos. Finally, visual pruning and owner rening heuristics are employed to improve the results.
