This year EURECOM participated in the TRECVID 2015 Semantic INdexing (SIN) Task [24] for the submission of four di erent runs for 60 concepts, and Video Hyperlinking (LNK) Task [24] with the four submissions. Our submission to the SIN Task builds on the runs submitted in the previous years for the 2013 and 2014 SIN tasks, the details of which can be found in [20] and [19], while the LNK submissions are based on our previous experiments as in [28] and [9]. The major changes for 2015 are the use of new Deep Network models to produce extra descriptors for the video shots, and the introduction of various fusion schemes at all levels of the processing, to reduce the problem of over tting. This year, we did not use our uploader model,
partly because of lack of time, and partly because initial experiments showed only marginal improvement after the new features were added. For the LNK Task our approach targeted to connect the textual stream of the videos within the collection and its vocabulary context, as de ned by word2vec algorithm, with the output of visual concepts detection tools for the corresponding hyperlinks candidates within one frame-
work. We combined visual concepts detection con dence scores with the information about corresponding word vectors distances in order to rerank the baseline text based search. The reranked runs did not outperform the baseline, however they exposed potential of our method for further improvement. Beside this participation, EURECOM took part in the collaborative IRIM submission, the details of this contribution is included in the corresponding publication from the IRIM group. The remainder of this paper brie y describes the descriptors that we have been using, the training and the various fusion schemes, and the content of the submitted runs; and the framework of the con dence scores combinations used for reranking in the LNK task.
