Subject: BCS Machine Intelligence Competition
The Fourth British Computer Society Machine Intelligence Competition
Tuesday December 13th 2005 at Peterhouse College, Cambridge,
UK, during the annual SGAI conference AI-2005
Closing Date for Entries: October 1st 2005.
This is one in an annual series of competitions for live
demonstrations of 'Progress Towards Machine Intelligence'
organized by the British Computer Society Specialist Group on
Artificial Intelligence (SGAI) in association with AKRI. The
competition is sponsored by Electrolux Group.
The demonstration can be of either software (e.g. a question-
answering system or a speech recognition system) or hardware
(e.g. a mobile robot).
This competition will put on show real systems demonstrated live.
It is hoped that the competition and the competitors, over several
years, will provide a new interest and visible improvements in the
development of machine intelligence.
Entry Fee: There is no entry fee and conference registration is not
required.
Prize: A permanent trophy awarded for one year plus a £1,000
cash prize, sponsored by Electrolux.
Format: The prize will be awarded on the basis of a 10-15 minute
live demonstration (not a paper or a technical description). The
prize will be awarded to the demonstration that in the opinion of the
judges best demonstrates 'progress towards an intelligent
machine'.
Judges: All registered delegates at the conference will be eligible to
vote in a secret ballot.
Eligibility: The competition is open to all. A maximum of 5 entries
will be presented. To control numbers, these will be selected by
the organizers on the basis of information provided by the entrants.
