The ACM Multimedia 2023 Deep Video Understanding Grand Challenge

This is the overview paper for the Deep Video Understanding (DVU) Grand Challenge. In recent years, a growing trend towards working on understanding videos (in particular movies) to a deeper level started to motivate researchers working in multimedia and computer vision to present new approaches and datasets to tackle this problem. This is a challenging research area which aims to develop a deep understanding of the relations which exist between different individuals and entities in movies using all available modalities such as video, audio, text and metadata. The aim of this grand challenge is to foster innovative research in this new direction and to provide benchmarking evaluations to advance technologies in the deep video understanding community.
