Problem Statement

FG-2021 Hackathon provides a unique platform to participating teams to work on ideas by applying AI techniques and helping those ideas to see the light of the day. We highly encourage teams from any of the following areas to apply for this event:

  • Face Recognition, Analysis & Synthesis
  • Psychological and Behavioral Analysis
  • Gesture Recognition, Analysis & Synthesis
  • Body Action and Activity Recognition

Application can be in areas but not limited to improving social impact and limit harm, methods for dealing with bias, unapproved use, security etc.

 

GPU Compute Resource

Selected teams for stage 2 will be provided with access to a GPU cluster for accelerating training and inference.

 

Awards

  • The top 2 teams will get an opportunity to win NVIDIA Jetson kits: The AI platform for edge computing.
  • The top 2 teams will be invited to submit their research work to the FG2021 special issue on IEEE Transaction on Biometrics, Behavior and Identity Science (IEEE T-BIOM). The work will be evaluated for high research novelty and scientific value - as per T-BIOM standards and rigorous process - and based on the review outcome, it may be included in the special issue.
 

Disclaimers

  • Hackathon committee shall have final authority in selecting applications as per the suitability and nature of the proposals.
  • Hackathon committee shall have final authority in selecting winning teams as per the criteria mentioned in the FAQ section.
