SIRET (SImilarity RETrieval) research group (SRG) was founded in 2006 at the Department of Software Engineering, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague. SRG deals with database methods for efficient and effective similarity search in databases of complex unstructured objects. In particular, SRG is interested in three areas - general methods of indexing similarity (metric and nonmetric spaces), biological applications of the similarity search, and indexing image databases for content-based retrieval.
The SOMHunter team from our SIRET research group has won the 9th Video Browser Showdown competition organized at the 26th International Conference on Multimedia Modeling in Daejeon. For more details (in Czech), see the following link.
We organize a summer workshop on interactive video retrieval and machine learning in multimedia retrieval. For more details see http://siret.ms.mff.cuni.cz/videohunter/
In cooperation with K. Schoeffmann, J. Lokoč gave a tutorial at ACM MM in Seoul. Slides are available here https://www.slideshare.net/klschoef/interactive-video-search-where-is-the-user-in-the-age-of-deep-learning
