With the theme “Retrieving events from visual data”, this year’s competition is an opportunity for individuals and research groups at home and abroad to propose and improve advanced solutions applying artificial intelligence to solve important problems to serve life.
In this year's competition, the problem is to query events from videos , similar to the international competition Lifelog Search Challenge (LSC) and Video Browser Showdown (VBS). Contestants develop artificial intelligence algorithms to solve problems in life, applying them to Ho Chi Minh City according to the competition's theme.
The competition is organized in the form of a scientific competition, similar to the competitions (challenges) often held around the world to find effective solutions to new problems of interest to serve life.
After more than 2 months of launching, the contest received the attention and registration of more than 2,700 candidates. Of which, Group A has 1,542 candidates registered to participate, divided into 340 teams from 70 units and independent candidates.
