First Call: IJCAI 2013 Video Competition ================================================== We are pleased to present the first call for videos to the upcoming IJCAI 2013 Video Competition. In the spirit of earlier AI Video Competitions, the intention is to provide researchers with a forum for demonstrating how exciting and interesting artificial intelligence can be. The results of the competition will be presented at the IJCAI 2013 conference (August 3-9, 2013, in Beijing, China), where the best videos will be given an award. All videos will also be made available online.
Video Contents. ================================================== A wide range of videos related to artificial intelligence can be submitted to the competition, varying along a number of distinct dimensions. The topic of a video might for example be a general or specific area of AI, the work of a particular researcher or group (yourselves or others), or a concrete application that depends on one or several AI techniques and that may be based entirely on software or partly on hardware. A video may concern work with different levels of maturity, from introducing something new and interesting, through describing known but ongoing research, to summarizing a mature area or application and showing its impact on society. The intended audience of a video can be students learning about a topic in a classroom, researchers interesting in learning more about subfields outside their own, or the general public. Specific Awards. ================================================== In keeping with the above, several distinct awards will be given: * Best long video (up to 5 minutes) * Best short video (up to 1 minute) * Best application video (demonstrating a particular use of AI) * Most entertaining video (illustrating AI in an amusing or interesting way) * Most educational video (for students learning about a topic) * Most societally beneficial video (showing the public what AI can do and does for them) In all cases, keeping the viewer interested and engaged is essential. The best videos of earlier AI video competitions have often achieved this through the use of humor, background music, and movies / animations (note that the authors must hold the copyright for all materials used or have explicit permissions from the copyright holders). To ensure that the videos are comprehensible to a wide audience, they must be narrated or subtitled in English. Videos will be reviewed for each award by members of the video competition program committee (to be announced). The best videos will be nominated for awards, and the winners decided by the committee will be revealed at a ceremony at IJCAI 2013. Key Dates. ================================================== Submission of videos: May 15, 2013 Notification of award nominations: June 15, 2013 Final version due: June 30, 2013 Submissions. ================================================== Detailed submission information will be provided in the second call.
