About us

With the aim of highlighting the practical importance of artificial intelligence, and due to the important boom that the development of applications for mobile devices (Apps) is experiencing in recent years, CAEPIA20/21 is convening the 4th competition on mobile Apps with Artificial Intelligence techniques.

The Apps developed will be accompanied by a written document with the format and contents detailed in the following section. Papers received will be subject to prior evaluation, and those accepted in the competition will be published in CAEPIA's conference proceedings and presented in a poster session. A jury will determine the winning application.

  • Obligation of participants: At least one author must register at the congress. Likewise, one of the authors must be present at the session in which the applications will be presented.

Apps Evaluation

The review and evaluation shall consist of two phases:

  1. Phase 1: Expression of interest: : Contestants interested in participating should submit an expression of interest consisting of an abstract of no more than two pages on the following aspects of the App:
    • brief description of the main functionality of the App
    • I.A. technique(s) on which it is based
    • technologies and tools used
    • usefulness and feasibility of the App

    At this stage it is not necessary to send the App or the optional explanatory video. Submissions should be made through the Conference EasyChair page (Apps and videos competition).

  2. https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caepia20-21:

    Once it has been verified that the expressions of interest meet the delivery requirements, the authors will be informed if their work has been accepted in this first phase.

    For the accepted Apps, including the requested changes if any, contestants should complete the previous submission, extending the document as indicated in the "Upload requirements" section, adding the information related to the App. The updated version of the document will follow CAEPIA papers format and should be submitted not later than 20 june 2021, to guarantee its inclusion in CAEPIA proceedings.

  3. Phase 2: Competition:: All the Apps selected in Phase 1 will participate in Phase 2. In Phase 2, participants must update the previous submission, adding the App and (if applicable) the optional video demo, and providing the document of originality. Submission must be made not later than September 7, 2021 and it will be mandatory that at least one of the authors has registered for CAEPIA.

The full written documents accompanying the work selected at this stage will be published in the CAEPIA proceedings along with the other accepted papers in the other activities of the conference.

  • Degree of importance of A.I. technique in the functionality of the APP.
  • Usefulness.
  • Originality.
  • Usability.
  • Feasibility.
  • Appearance and user interface.

About us

In this competition, participants are special to create/present videos related with Artificial Intelligence Technique, in the following categories:

  1. New videos (between three and four minutes duration) that serve as an informative introduction to techniques and methods of Artificial Intelligence. The main objective of the video will be to answer the question What is X?, where X refers to an A.I. technique or method, or the question How is X applied to solve Y?, where X is the technique/method and Y is a problem or scope of application. As an illustrative example we show below some informative videos of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society on different topics of A.I.:
  2. New videos (between three- and four-minutes duration) aiming to promote early STEM vocations. The aim is to créate dissemination pills addressed to secondary school students, focusing on explaining/illustrating a relevant Artificial Intelligent achievement or application.
  3. New videos (between three- and four-minutes duration) aiming to highlight the contributions of women in Artificial Intelligence. The aim is to promote feminine vocations in A.I., through the creation of videos which illustrate examples or bios of relevant women in the A.I. field or relevant A.I. models/applications created by women.
  4. Existent videos (not new ones) produced by any organization (companies, public bodies, teaching or research centres, …) which promote the use and/or development of A.I.. The aim is to acknowledge materials not specifically produced for this competition, which may be being exploited/disseminated, but with a clear orientation towards the dissemination of A.I. and its applications.

The aim is that videos are informative and convey the main ideas of the chosen technique and its application to a non-specialized public (not A.I. researchers or with high scientific or technical level in this area. Videos can be understood as complementary didactic materials for high school or first-years undergraduate students.

In case the video explains a specific technique, it is very important that it describes how it can be applied and integrated into daily life tasks/problems.


Upload requirements

  • Language: The video can be generated either in Spanish or English, since they are the two languages used in this conference. Consistency in the use of one language or another will be assessed, and the associated document must be written in the language chosen for the video. Optionally, it can be subtitled.
  • Format: The video must be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or another similar platform, with the following requirements:

  • Duration: The length of the video will be between three and four minutes for categories A, B and C. Videos of shorter/longer duration will be excluded. No duration limit is established for category D videos.
  • Explained A.I. Technique: The topic is free as long as it deals with some of the A.I. techniques included in the CAEPIA and their associated events (workshops and sessions) topics of interest.
  • Written document: Accompanying the video, a written document of no more than three pages in PDF format will be sent to the EasyChair platform of the conference, which will necessarily contain the following information:

    • Content: The document should clearly address the following points:
      • A short description of the tools and materials used for the technical implementation of the video (e. g. software used, if any special devices have been used, etc.).
      • Link of the video on YouTube, Vimeo or the chosen platform.
      • Justification of why that particular A.I. technique has been chosen, including a brief introduction to it.
      • Discussion on the main narrative and aesthetic resources used.
      • Discussion on the didactic usefulness of the material developed, and a personal assessment of it.
      • Main conclusions.
      • References used to elaborate the contents of the video.
  • Originality of the work: The written documents of the selected videos will be published in the CAEPIA proceedings. To do this, it will be mandatory that authors sign and upload the Declaration of Originality of the Video and Cession of Rights that certifies that the material is original and created by the author or authors in order to participate in this competition, which does not include content on which the authors have no rights and which has not been sent to any other contest or competition. To guarantee this point, the authors will provide a document in which they declare the originality of the video created. The corresponding model must be completed with the video data and authors and signed by all of them. It is essential to send this document to participate in the competition.
