Goal of the fusion task is to explore strategies for fusing data of visual and textual retrieval systems for an optimal multi-modal retrieval performance. Training data is currently not foreseen.
Interested participants will received the best purely visual and the best purely textual runs of the 2009 ImageCLEF medical retrieval task and then need to combine the runs in a way to optimize the performance.
We plan to set up a registration interface by the end of October so interested participants can register automatically for this task.
