Seek the New Model of Global Best Practices of Applied Algorithms!Sign Up for the First Global Competition of Best Practices of Applied Algorithms

In order to "gather global algorithm resources, spread algorithm best practices, cultivate model algorithm teams, build algorithm ecosystem, and create a global algorithm hot-zone", the launching ceremony of the First Global Competition of Best Practices of Applied Algorithms (BPAA) has recently been officially initiated online, where participants may sign up for the competition.Feng Jianfeng, Director of Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-inspired Intelligence (ISTBI), Xu Li, Co-founder and CEO of SenseTime, Xuan Xiaohua, President of UniDT Technology, and Yuan Yue, President of Dataway made speeches at the ceremony and wished the competition a great success. The initiation ceremony was jointly live broadcast by CCTV News Mobile, Xinhua News Agency Live, Baidu Live, and Youtube, with more than one million views.

With the in-depth integration of artificial intelligence in various fields of the global economy and society, artificial intelligence will become an important driving force of the fourth industrial revolution. In the artificial intelligence iron triangle supported by calculation volume (data), calculation power, and algorithm, the industrialization of calculation volume and calculation power has been fruitful and the huge potential of the algorithm is about to emerge. To promote the industrialization of algorithms is among the core spirits of the next World Artificial Intelligence Conference. The finals and related results of BPAA will become the highlights of the 2021 World Artificial Intelligence Conference. The Global Competition of BPAA is also an important work to promote the deepening of the artificial intelligence industry in Shanghai. It aims to give full play to the fertile soil for algorithm talents, help enrich the resources of artificial intelligence industry algorithm, and improve the actual intelligent economy and intelligent governance in Shanghai.

According to the organizer, BPAA is an algorithm application competition in the field of artificial intelligence, which aims at international competition teams from China, North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific Regions, with the objective to widely collect model algorithm application practices and cutting-edged algorithm application talents. All organizations and individuals, including processional algorithm service and startup institutions, algorithm teams from artificial intelligence enterprises, and algorithm research teams of higher education institutions, are enabled to show what they are capable of in the five major competition categories of the public algorithm, financial algorithm, medical algorithm, industrial algorithm, and commercial algorithm. In the competition, the several competition zones of the Yangtze River Delta region, the Greater Bay region, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and the central and western region in China, as well as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific Region are divided into 12 competition zones. All cases engaged in the competition will be assessed and graded by experts from the committee in aspects of technology and innovation, business value, and social value. Going through preliminary evaluation, regional finals, and grand finals, these algorithms are expected to compete for the final grand prix. The top 100 teams of the competition will have the chance of being listed in "Shanghai’s Global Suppliers for Algorithm Services", and included in the list of the enterprise-level "Applied Algorithm Virtual Laboratory".

Under the guidance of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Economy and Information, the Global Competition of BPAA has gained great supports from three major artificial intelligence innovation frontiers in Shanghai including Pudong New Area, Putuo District and Minhang District. According to the person in charge of Zhangjiang Group, Zhangjiang Science City, located in the central position of Pudong New Area, Shanghai, extends to the central core area from Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Island as the polar nucleus. It makes every effort to build an artificial intelligence innovation cradle of new academic thoughts, new scientific discoveries, new technological inventions and new industrial directions, and strives to build a world-class science city with "obvious scientific characteristics, agglomeration of scientific and technological elements, environmental human ecology, and innovation vitality"; According to the speeches of the person in charge of Shanghai Putuo Science and Technology Committee, Putuo District, Shanghai, as a land of promise for Shanghai digital economy, focuses on digital, networked and intelligent development, further promotes the innovation of digital intelligent technology, the development of industrial clusters and the improvement of regional energy levels, and is committed to building a dynamic urban model of digital economy integrating intelligence, industries, ecology and humanities; The person in charge of Shanghai Minhang Science and Technology Committee expressed that the innovation factors in Minhang District, Shanghai were complete, with two 985 universities and more than a dozen high-level research institutes, more than 30 national key laboratories and more than a hundred multinational companies, with large enterprise innovation centers to create an open and integrated innovation ecology, and diversified science creation space carriers to meet the different needs of innovations and entrepreneurship, as well as a series of industrial policies such as innovation and entrepreneurship and achievement transformation, and science creation talents.

In the first year of China's 14th Five-Year Plan and a critical year for the development of the artificial intelligence industry, the Global Competition of BPAA will contribute to stimulating the vitality of technological innovation, building a most avant-garde talent team, enhancing cross-regional exchanges and cooperation in the world, promoting the clustering and sustainable high-quality development in algorithm industries, and boosting the general promotion of the artificial intelligence industry. It is expected that the government, institutions, enterprises, universities, talents and other roles in the fields of algorithm development, algorithm exploration and algorithm support will pay attention to and actively participate in this Competition, jointly build the Competition into an annual professional event and well-known brand award with global influence, and make the holding of the Competition a milestone event to promote the development of algorithms and the industrialization of algorithms.
