The mediamill large.lexicon concept suggestion engine

In this technical demonstration we show the current version of the MediaMill system, a search engine that facilitates access to news video archives at a semantic level. The core of the system is a lexicon of 436 automatically detected semantic concepts. To handle such a large lexicon in retrieval, an engine is developed which automatically selects a set of relevant concepts based on the textual query and example images. The result set can be browsed easily to obtain the final result for the query.
