Evaluating Interactive Video Retrieval
Latest: VBS 2022 in Phu Quoc (hybrid)
As in previous years, also the 11th Video Browser Showdown (VBS2022) was a great success and a wonderful event. Even though we used a much larger dataset (V3C1+V3C2) with 2300 hours of video content, all search tasks could be solved very quickly. While being a professional video retrieval evaluation competition, it was a very exciting and entertaining event as well! We thank all participants and contributors and look forward to the next iteration of the VBS, which will take place in January 2023 in Bergen, Norway. New teams that want to join should contact us as soon as possible, in order to share data, hints, and maybe even some tools that can help to start! Further down below you can also find examples of VBS systems, which will give you some inspiration for your own system.

VBS 2020 in Daejeon
The VBS 2020 took place in Daejeon, South Korea, on January 6, 2020. We used 1000 hours of video content for the evaluation (V3C1 dataset) and a lot of challenging visual and textual KIS tasks.
Teams in Action
The VBS lasts for a few hours, where either experts (developers/researchers) or novices (volunteers from the audience) of all teams try to solve KIS and AVS tasks as fast as possible.
