Early registration is now open on the MediaEval 2016 registration site. The tasks listed there will be offered, given that they demonstrate sufficient popularity on the MediaEval 2016 survey, so be sure to fill that out as well.

Core participants should register as soon as possible, although registration for participation will remain open through May.

Core participants are teams who register early because they already know for certain that they will participate in a task. There is no difference between core participants and general participants. We have noticed, however, that core participants are able to provide detailed feedback to the organizers over the course of the benchmarking season, which serves to strengthen tasks. The number of core participants is an important factor in ensuring that a task is popular enough to run.
