About the Competitions
The individual competition:
● Several competitions in Artificial Intelligence will be launched at the same time and each participant will be asked to choose and solve one of them .
● The track will last for 20 hours in a row where participants will deal with problems in Artificial Intelligence in different areas and using different AI tools (computer vision, NLP, Reinforcement Learning
etc…)
● The competitions will take place on a platform that calculates each participant’s results in real time; and at the end of the individual competitions, the highest scores are ranked directly via this platform.
The group/start-up competition:
● Competitors will form small teams of 2 to 4 people where they have to create a start-up idea in AI and work on mobile applications for that idea. The participants will work on realising how, by using AI, their innovative ideas and technical skills could be transformed into commercial opportunities with a societal impact.
● Competitors will receive support and guidance from both business and technical mentors throughout the event. More than 80 teams will have to pitch their ideas, and 10 finalists will be chosen from this group. An expert jury will select the winners from the finalists.
