Can you please expand a bit - will this be presented somewhere and by whom? How will collaborating winners be cited or their contribution be acknowleged?
I'm also wondering how will signing away all rights to Zindi (which differs from the other AI for Good competition) impact on this?
@skaak ;) thank you for the catch.
I have updated the rules to say: "If your solution places 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the final ranking, will NOT be required to assign rights of copyright to Zindi. We will however encourage the winners to share their code on GitHub as a public good to the sector."
Regarding the paper bit, I will ask the host to elaborate.
Phew that is nice - thanks Amy!
Nobody wants to see their model used in somebody else's paper without attribution. I would love, encourage and support such collaboration between zindi and the community but then attribution must be handled correctly. This can be a real development target for zindi, to e.g. co-author a few papers with the community. I mean, the skill is obviously there aplenty and if zindi can take the results and publish it it would be so wonderful.
Here is an easy scenario. Suppose x wins a comp. Then let x write a paper or article about the model. Then zindi and the host can help in writing it up and publishing it. I wouldn't even mind assisting a bit with the write-up and I am sure there are others that will also help. The host probably already knows and has access to the right journals and stuff.
Just a easy thought, perhaps not that easy to implement ...
ITU will invite top-3 winner to co-author a paper that will be submitted to a Journal or conference depending on the maturity of the proposal or contents. Winners will be encouraged to participate in this exercise.
This sounds good and encouraging
