This paper describes our participation to the TRECVID 2011 challenge [1]. This year, we focused on a stacking fusion with Domain Adaptation algorithm. In machine learning, Domain Adaptation deals with learning tasks where the train and the test distributions are supposed related but different. We have implemented a classical approach for concept detection using individual features (low-level and intermediate features) and supervised classifiers. Then we combine the various classifiers with a second layer of classifier (stacking) which was specifically designed for Domain Adaptation. We show that, empirically, Domain Adaptation can improve concept detection by considering test information during the learning process.
