“Mohsen Yazdinjad”, the artificial intelligence lead team and the manager of Nextra Studio startup, introduced the details of the fifth edition of Facebook’s artificial intelligence event at the second Pandora startup gathering. This event, which is known as one of the most important artificial intelligence events in Iran, is held with a focus on recognizing tourist places and people’s gender through machine vision.
An overview of the previous courses of the Facebook event
Introducing this event as one of the biggest specialized artificial intelligence events in Iran, Mohsen Yazdinjad mentioned the history of this event. “This event is now in its fifth year,” he explained. “Each year, the event focuses on a specific issue in the field of artificial intelligence to give participants the opportunity to work on it in depth and come up with innovative solutions.”
In the last four editions, participating teams have faced various issues to participate in this event. The fourth course was dedicated to the topic of “Deepfake detection”, the aim of which was to distinguish healthy videos from problematic videos through artificial intelligence tools. Yazdinjad emphasized that these experiences helped the teams to improve their skills in more specialized areas of artificial intelligence.
The focus of this year’s event is the recognition of tourist places is
The main focus of this year’s event is the recognition of tourist places through the use of artificial intelligence. Yazdinjad explained: “Participating teams must recognize different places using tourism images. This project uses the combination of machine vision technology and computer vision to correctly identify tourist places.
He added: “In addition, identifying the gender of the people in the images is also part of this event; In this way, the participants must specify the number of men and women in the picture.
Competition structure and evaluation process
Yazdinijad went on to explain the structure of the competition. He explained: “The competition data is divided into three different parts: the training data (Train Data), the public test (Public Test), and the final test (Private Test). “Participants can first train their models using training data and prepare them for competition.”
The director of Nextra explained: “The public test is also updated in stages and participants can earn more points during the event by improving their models. “Finally, the final test, which is used to accurately evaluate the teams, will determine the final result.”
He claims: “One of the key points in this event is to prevent fraud and ensure the correct implementation of the evaluation process. For this reason, the top teams must eventually run their code in the event environment to validate the results. This action is taken to create fairness and transparency in the evaluation of teams and to ensure that no team has reached the result by cheating.”
In another part of his speech, Yazdinjad mentioned the connection between the top teams and the sponsors of the event. “One of the important goals of this event is to identify top talents and connect them to job opportunities and industrial projects,” he said. “In previous editions, many top teams were able to pitch their projects to event sponsors and receive outsourcing contracts.”
Yazdinjad also emphasized that top teams can use these opportunities to develop their businesses or cooperate with big companies.
Finally, expressing optimism about the success of this year’s event, Yazdinjad emphasized that the main goal of the event is to develop artificial intelligence technologies and identify and cultivate new talents in this field.
