pleased to announce a call for video submissions to the upcoming IJCAI
2023 Video Competition, as part of the 32nd International Joint
Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI 2023), the premier
international gathering of researchers in AI!</div><br>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.<br><br>The
results of the competition will be presented at the IJCAI 2023
conference (August 19-25 in Macao), where the awards for best videos
will be announced. <br><br>**Important Dates (AI Video Competition)**<br><br>- Submission of videos by: June 25, 2023.<br><br>- Notification of acceptance and award nominations: July 10, 2023.<br><br>- Final version due: July 14, 2023.<br><br>Note: all deadlines are Anywhere on Earth (AoE).<br><br>**Video Contents**<br><br>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 more AI techniques, and that may be based entirely on
software or partly on hardware. A video may concern works 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.<br><br>**Specific Awards**<br><br>Several
distinct awards will be given. The following categories are envisioned,
but may change depending on the submissions received.<br><br>- Best video<br>- Best robotic video (demonstrating a use of AI in relation with robotics)<br>- Most entertaining video (illustrating AI in an amusing or interesting way)<br>- Most educational video (for students learning about a topic)<br>- Most beneficial video for society (showing the public what AI can do and does for society)<br><br>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 animations. <br>To ensure that the videos are comprehensible to a wide audience, they must be narrated and subtitled in English.<br><br>**Requirements**<br><br>The following criteria must be satisfied by all participating videos:<br><br>- The video must be relevant to the area of Artificial Intelligence.<br>- The video must be narrated and subtitled in English.<br>- The maximum length is 5 minutes, but we encourage shorter videos.<br>- The video must be submitted in AVI or MPEG4 format.<br>-
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.<br>- The video must not be offensive or advertise/promote commercial products.<br><br>**Review Process**<br><br>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:<br><br>- Excitement: How interesting and exciting is the actual technology, research area, application, or other work being presented?<br>-
Educational content: To what extent can other AI researchers, students,
or the general public learn about artificial intelligence from the
video?<br>- Entertainment value: How entertaining and captivating is the video to watch?<br>- Presentation quality: How well is the video produced, what is the quality of the narration and soundtrack, etc.?<br><br>The best videos will be nominated for awards and the winners decided by the committee will be announced during IJCAI 2023.<br><br>**Submissions**<br><br>To submit a video, please send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:video@ijcai-23.org" target="_blank">video@ijcai-23.org</a>. <br>Your e-mail should contain the following information:<br><br>- The title of your video<br>-
A link to the video, hosted on an internationally accessible platform
(please e-mail the chairs in advance, to the email address above, if
this presents a difficulty)<br>- Names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses of everyone who has contributed to the video<br>- A brief 1-paragraph description of the content and the format of the video<br><br>Note
that one does not have to attend the IJCAI 2023 conference to
participate in the competition. For further information about
participation in the competition, please contact the video track chairs
