Educational video competition at CAEPIA 2018

Juan M. Corchado on 7 June 2018. Thursday.

An educational video competition will take place this October in the city of Granada. It will be organized as part of the XVIII Conference of the Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence (CAEPIA 2018). This competition invites participants to create an educational video introducing viewers to the techniques and methods of artificial intelligence. The goal of the competitors is to visually explain the use of AI techniques and concepts in problem solving.

In this edition, I will have the great honor of being part of the jury of this competition along with great colleagues from other Spanish universities such as Senén Barro Ameneiro (Universidade de Santiago de Compostela), Óscar Cordón (Universidad de Granada), María José del Jesus Díaz (Universidad de Jaén) and Alicia Troncoso (Universidad Pablo de Olavide).

All those who are interested in learning more about this and other proposals within the framework of CAEPIA 2018 can go to: http://sci2s.ugr.es/caepia18/competition_es.html#videos or to http://sci2s.ugr.es/caepia18/inicio.html
