It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first Lifelog Search Challenge - LSC 2018. Lifelogging is the process of capturing multiple aspects of one's life in digital form and is becoming an increasingly important research topic. However, lifelog organisation and retrieval continues to pose significant challenges for the research community and there has been almost no progress on the evaluation of interactive lifelog retrieval systems to date. Consequently, the mission of the LSC is to support the development and comparative evaluation of interactive lifelog retrieval systems by releasing test collections and defining research challenges to be solved by the community in an open and collaborative manner. We hope that the LSC 2018 will be first annual workshop in a series. LSC 2018 promises to be a highly interactive and entertaining workshop modelled on the successful Video Browser Showdown (VBS) annual competition at the MMM conference series. LSC is a participation workshop, which means that the participants write and present a paper describing their retrieval system, as well as taking part in the live interactive search challenge. Consequently, the workshop is highly interactive, with seven short oral presentations, a lively panel discussion, followed by the actual search challenge with integrating both expert and novice user experimental evaluations.
The call for papers attracted submissions from Asia and Europe and ultimately seven papers were selected for inclusion in the program, from Ireland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Spain, Netherlands and Vietnam. Six of these papers have translated into working interactive search engines for evaluation, including refinements of existing successful retrieval engines from the VBS, as well as four new systems that consider novel access and retrieval mechanisms, including the use of Virtual Reality for user interaction.

LSE2018 Panel - Challenges of Lifelog Search and Access
Lifelogging is becoming an increasingly important topic of research and this paper highlights the thoughts of the three panelists at the LSC - Lifelog Search Challenge at ICMR 2018 in Yokohama, Japan on June 11, 2018. The thoughts cover important topics ...
lifeXplore at the Lifelog Search Challenge 2018
With the growing hype for wearable devices recording biometric data comes the readiness to capture and combine even more personal information as a form of digital diary - lifelogging today is practiced ever more and can be categorized anywhere between ...
LIFER: An Interactive Lifelog Retrieval System
In this paper, we introduce a first generation interactive lifelog search engine called \systemname, a system that allows a user to retrieve the moments from the personal life archives in a reliable and efficient manner. We designed this system to ...
Using an Interactive Video Retrieval Tool for LifeLog Data
Known-item search in multimodal lifelog data represents a challenging task for present search engines. Since sequences of temporally close images represent a significant part of the provided data, an interactive video retrieval tool with few extensions ...
Virtual Reality Lifelog Explorer: Lifelog Search Challenge at ACM ICMR 2018
The Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) invites researchers to share their prototypes for lifelog exploration and retrieval and encourages competition to evaluate effective methodologies for this. In this paper. we present a novel approach to visual lifelog ...
Lifelogging Retrieval based on Semantic Concepts Fusion
Lifelogging data provides useful insight understanding about our lives during daily activities. Thus, it is essential to develop a system to assist users to retrieve events or memories from lifelogging data from ad-hoc text queries. In this paper, we ...
An Interactive Lifelog Search Engine for LSC2018
In this work, we describe an interactive lifelog search engine developed for the LSC 2018 search challenge at ACM ICMR 2018. The paper introduces the four-step process required to support lifelog search engines and describes the source data for the ...
Geospatial Access to Lifelogging Photos in Virtual Reality
We present a virtual reality system for accessing geotagged photos taken with a lifelogging camera. Photos are spatially located on a world map that can be explored with a head-mounted display. Using a virtual reality headset allows users to easily and ...
