Open cool NOT Kaggle contest – AIJ Contest 2020 🎉

◼️ Digital Peter: Recognition of Peter the Great’s manuscripts
October 9 – November 8
Digital Peter is an educational task with a historical slant created on the basis of several AI technologies (CV, NLP, and knowledge graphs). The task was prepared jointly with the Saint Petersburg Institute of History of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Federal Archival Agency of Russia and the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts.
Participants are invited to create an algorithm for line-by-line recognition of manuscripts written by Peter the Great.

◼️ NoFloodWithAI: Flash floods on the Amur river
October 9 – November 1
NoFloodWithAI is a special track with a socially important theme prepared jointly with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Natural Resources and Rosgidromet of Russia.
Participants are invited to develop an algorithm for short-term forecasting of water levels in the Amur River for the following settlements: Dzhalinda, Blagoveshchensk, Innokentievka, Leninskoye, Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Nikolaevsk-on-Amur for 10 days in advance in order to prevent emergency situations in Russia’s regions. The results of the contest will be reused to mitigate environmental risks and minimize economic damage wrought on the regions.


◼️ AI4Humanities: ruGPT-3
October 16 – November 1
It is a track developed especially for those familiar with artificial neural networks. It will help to learn about a promising ruGPT-3 technology able to generate very complex meaningful texts based on just one request made in natural human language. For example, it can help you answer most questions included in basic or unified national exams (OGE or EGE), write Java code at the request "Please make a website for the online shop", come up with a business idea for a new startup, or write new popular science articles.
