We are very pleased to invite you to participate to The Emotional Impact of Movies Task at MediaEval 2017.
This task is proposed to offer researchers a place to compare their approaches for the prediction of the emotional impact of movies.
Two scenarios are proposed as subtasks. In both cases, long movies are considered and the emotional impact has to be predicted for consecutive ten seconds-segments sliding over the whole movie with a shift of 5 seconds:
- Valence/Arousal prediction: participants’ systems are expected to predict a score of induced valence (negative-positive) and induced arousal (calm-excited) for each consecutive ten seconds-segments;
- Fear prediction: the purpose here is to predict for each consecutive ten second- segments whether they are likely to induce fear or not. The targeted use case is the prediction of frightening scenes to help systems protecting children from potentially harmful video content.
