Abstract
For the seventh time since 2018, the Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) benchmarked interactive lifelog search systems in a live challenge. The LSC goal is to comparatively evaluate system capabilities to access large multimodal lifelogs comprising hundreds of thousands of records. LSC'24 attracted an unprecedented record number of twenty-one participating teams, where each team proposes innovative ideas implemented to new or already established interactive lifelog retrieval systems. The benchmark was organised in front of a live audience at the LSC workshop at ACM ICMR'24 in Phuket, Thailand. This short paper summarises the LSC workshop setting and presents the participating lifelog search systems.
