LSVC2017: Large-Scale Video Classification Challenge

Recognizing visual contents in unconstrained videos has become a very important problem for many applications, such as Web video search and recommendation, smart advertising, robotics, etc. This workshop and challenge aims at exploring new challenges and approaches for large-scale video classification with large number of classes from open source videos in a realistic setting, based upon an extension of Fudan-Columbia Video Dataset (FCVID). This newly collected dataset contains over 8000 hours of video data from YouTube and Flicker, annotated into 500 categories. We hope this dataset can stimulate innovative research on this challenging and important problem.
