The Tenth British Computer Society Machine Intelligence Competition
Friday October 5th 2012 at BCS London Office (near Covent Garden).
This is a free event open to all (registration required).
Closing Date for Entries: Friday July 27th 2012
This is the tenth in a series of competitions for live demonstrations
of applications that show 'Progress Towards Machine Intelligence'
organized by the British Computer Society Specialist Group on
Artificial Intelligence (SGAI) in association with AKRI Ltd.
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.
Prize: A permanent trophy awarded for one year plus a £500 cash
prize.
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 those attending the competition 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.
