(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatar University College of Engineering (QU-CENG) has launched the Artificial Intelligence National Competition (AINC), it was announced yesterday.
The contest challenges students, developers, professionals and researchers to develop and demonstrate how humans can collaborate with powerful artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to tackle some challenges and relevant problems related to 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar.
The competition is also an opportunity to raise awareness of AI technology in Qatar and provides a platform for participants to share AI ideas and applications.
The AI national competition is accepting submissions until March 15, 2019. There are two levels and participants are required to submit either a 'Concept & Design or 'Proof of
Concept & Demo.
Only one submission will be considered later in the evaluation stage and it is encouraged that participants register early in order to plan and build their solution and demos.
CENG dean Prof Abdelmagid Hammuda said, 'The competition will recognise the developers who are paving the path for future innovative AI technologies which can be deployed to support infrastructure and address challenges in Qatar 2022 World Cup.
'The ideas and solutions will be evaluated based on innovation, complexity and feasibility for
implementation and cost, he added.
Of the benefits of participating, CENG associate dean, Research and Graduate Studies Prof Abbes Amira said, 'The top three ideas for both competition options will each receive prizes plus an opportunity to present the idea and present demos at an AI workshop taking place on April 15, 2019 at Qatar University, College of Engineering. The workshop will be attended by the AI research community in Qatar, plus internationally
recognised speakers in the AI field.
'The competition welcomes AI solutions which can be deployed to resolve the following problems: Automatic and real-time detection of trolls over social media, real-time AI solutions for assisting referees to take prompt decisions, crowd monitoring and behaviour analysis, and finally detection and prevention of attacks and malware in IoT based systems for 2022 World Cup data collection and
