IJCAI-PRICAI-20 AI Video Competition


We are pleased to present the first call for video entries to the
upcoming IJCAI-PRICAI 2020 Video Competition. In the spirit of
earlier AI Video Competitions, our intention is to provide
researchers with a showcase for demonstrating how exciting and
interesting Artificial Intelligence can be, as well as offering
to the public and the media accurate information crafted
first-hand by researchers.

The results of the competition will be presented at the IJCAI-PRICAI
2020 conference
(July 11-17, 2020, in Yokohama, Japan), where the best videos
will be announced.  All videos will also be made available
online.  Key dates are as follows:


Important Dates:

    Submission of videos: April 21, 2020.
    Notification of acceptance and award nominations: May 21, 2020.
    Final version due: June 5, 2020.

The submission website and submission instructions will be publicized
later this year.


Video Contents

A wide range of videos related to artificial intelligence can be
submitted to the competition. 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: you can introduce something new and interesting,
describing known but ongoing research, or summarize a mature area
or application, showing its impact on society. The intended
audience of a video can be students learning about a topic in a
classroom, researchers interested in learning more about
subfields outside their own, the general public, or the media,
etc.


Specific Awards

Several distinct awards will be given. The following categories
are envisioned, but may change depending on the submissions
received.

    - Best video (up to 5 minutes)

    - Best robotic video (demonstrating a use of AI in relation
      with robotics)

    - 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 society)

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. To ensure that the videos are
comprehensible to a wide audience, they must be narrated or
subtitled in English.


Requirements

The following criteria must be satisfied by all participating videos:
    - The video must be relevant to the area of Artificial Intelligence.

    - The video must be submitted in a widely supported encoding
      and container format. For example, MPEG-2, Xvid or H.264
      encoding in an AVI or MKV container could be used. We
      reserve the right to recode videos before placing them
      online.

    - The authors must hold the copyright for all materials used,
      such as music, video, sounds and images, or have explicit
      written permission from the copyright holders to use and
      distribute this material.

    - The video must not be offensive or advertise/promote
      commercial products.


Review Process

After the submission deadline, all submitted videos satisfying
the requirements stated above will be reviewed by the video
competition program committee (to be announced) according to the
following criteria:

    - Excitement: How interesting and exciting is the actual
      technology, research area, application, or other work being
      presented?

    - Educational content: To what extent can other AI
      researchers, students, or the general public learn about
      artificial intelligence from the video?

    - Entertainment value: How entertaining and captivating is
      the video to watch?

    - Presentation quality: How well is the video produced, what
      is the quality of the narration and soundtrack, etc.?

The best videos will be nominated for awards and the winners
decided by the committee will be announced during IJCAI-PRICAI
2020.

Note that attending the IJCAI-PRICAI conference is not
required. For further information about participation in the
competition, please contact Edith Elkind (elkind at cs.ox.ac.uk).
