lifeXplore at the Lifelog Search Challenge 2021

Abstract

Since its first iteration in 2018, the Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) continues to rise in popularity as an interactive lifelog data retrieval competition, co-located at the ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval (ICMR). The goal of this annual live event is to search a large corpus of lifelogging data for specifically announced memories using a purposefully developed tool within a limited amount of time. As long-standing participants, we present our improved lifeXplore -- a retrieval system combining chronologic day summary browsing with interactive combinable concept filtering. Compared to previous versions, the tool is improved by incorporating temporal queries, advanced day summary features as well as usability improvements.
