The CUHK-SenseTime
Secondary School Students AI Competition 2019
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the technology that uses machine intelligence to simulate human intelligence in performing tasks and solving problems. Application areas of AI include visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, machine translation, self-driving cars, and more. The technology has broad implications as a disruptive force that is reshaping the world and changing the ways we live and work in the future.
As an effort to encourage the exploration of scientific and technological innovation focusing on AI, and the sharing of AI knowledge and experience among secondary school students, CUHK and SenseTime Group Ltd are happy to announce the joint organization of “The CUHK-SenseTime Secondary School Students AI Competition 2019” to be held in the April-May 2019. The event is open and free for all secondary schools in Hong Kong and Macao to join, and serves to provide an opportunity for our young generation of students to present and share their works related to the learning and applications of AI technology.
