The problem that Express Analytics (EA) and IIT GOA has set forward for the jointly organised Competition in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-2019 to resolve is as follows:
The Kinetics Human Action Video Data Set [1,2] is a data set of about 500,000 Youtube Video clips that depict persons engaging in physical actions; there are two types of videos, one that encompasses videos depicting one of 400 unique actions (Kinetics-400), and the other that features videos depicting one of 600 actions (Kinetics-600). These actions can vary from simple motions, like applauding, to something that is complex, such as wrapping a present or weaving a basket. For this project, you will be asked to work with dataset Kinetics 400.
This project expects you to develop a machine learning algorithm that can, after being trained on a training set derived from Kinetics 400 [1], determine what action is being depicted in a given test video. Training, validation, and test sets are given in [1].
The challenges you will likely encounter are as follows, and will better explain why this development is both so important and so valuable:
- Unlike image recognition, action recognition on a video is significantly more complex and is based on accurate recognition of movements as opposed to being able to match color or shape cues.
- Video recognition has a high quotient of use cases, such as to identify and flag offensive videos, tag unique persons for customer tracking in retail applications, and recommend videos based on content.
Competition Rules

Evaluation Criteria
All entries of the competition that are received by (insert datetime) will be judged on a rubric that will not be disclosed to competitors. After evaluation by an expert committee, we will select the winner for each of the following categories:
- Most Well-Designed Solution — This award will go to the team that has designed the algorithm that is most user-friendly and is best designed for customer-facing applications. Teams that seek to win this prize should consider building a high-quality graphical user interface for their algorithm in addition to the accuracy of the solution.
- Fastest Algorithm Processing Time and Most Accurate Algorithm — This award will go to the team that, when run, completes training and testing in the smallest amount of time; In addition to the overall time the algorithm takes, the amount of time it takes the algorithm to be trained on the Kinetics-400 training set and the amount of time the algorithm takes to produce predictions for the Kinetics-400 test set will be considered.
- Best Overall Performance Combining 1 and 2 Above
Prizes/Awards:
- Rs. 10,000 Cash Award and a Citation for Evaluation Criteria 1
- Rs. 10,000 Cash Award and a Citation for Evaluation Criteria 2
- Grand Prize of Rs. 20,000 Cash Award, a Citation and the opportunity to attend a Machine Learning Conference (flight and stay expenses covered) in Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, India, Taiwan, South Korea) for Evaluation Criteria 3
- All winners under different criteria will be considered by Express Analytics for internship.
