[Challenge Announcement] New Round, Dataset & Prizes

:wave:t3: Hello there

The new round of Multi-Agent Behavior Challenge 2022 is live!

As the Round 1 of this very unique & exciting challenge comes to an end, we are happy to share the new prizes, dataset and deadline for Round 2! :sparkles:

So, What’s New In Round-2?

Everything! In this round you’ll be given a dataset of raw overhead videos and tracking data. Rather than being asked to detect a specific behavior of interest, we ask you to submit a frame-by-frame representation of the dataset. This video dataset is unique will inspire you to try new ideas that they could not on just the tracking data. Explore the sub-tasks to know more :arrow_down:

:mouse: Mouse Triplet Video Data

:ant: Ant & Beetle Video Data

The end goal remains the same, create a representation that captures behavior and generalizes well in any downstream task.

:trophy: $6000 USD cash prize pool for the two subtasks.
:spiral_calendar: Round-2 runs till May 20 th, 2022, 23:59 UTC.
:medal_sports:Claim upto $400 AWS credits in Round-2


:notebook: Resources For Round-2

:owl:To help you get started with the two new tasks, we have created an easy to follow starter kit for Mouse Triplet Video Task & Ant Tripler Video Task.

These notebooks will help you perform initial data exploration and a basic embedding using a vision model.

  1. Mouse Triplet Video Task Starter Kit

  2. Ant Tripler Video Task Starter Kit
