South Korea's top public research university will host an artificial intelligence world cup among undergraduate and postgraduate students in November.
The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) said it would co-host the 24-day "AI world Cup 2017" on November 1 with its Machine Intelligence and Robotics Multi-Sponsored Research and Education Platform.Each team will compete in a simulated football game, using skills its AI program has learned. AI will be evaluated over commentary of the matches. Robot professionals will be tested over news articles they write after analyzing the games.
Students at South Korean universities and post-university classes are eligible but KAIST will open the door for foreign students next year.
