In order to assess your application we need you to address the follow points:
1. Technical summary: Prepare short description of your participation in a MediaEval 2017 task (max. 200 words). This should describe the motivation for the approach that you took. Why do you think that this will be a productive approach to the problem? In which respect is your approach novel, or does it build on existing work?
