2022 ITU GeoAI Location Mention Recognition Challenge Finale
The ITU GeoAI Challenge aims to provide a platform for collaboratively addressing real-world geospatial problems by applying artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). \n\nWithin the ITU GeoAI Challenge the goal of the Location Mention Recognition from Social Media Crisis-related Text problem statement is to encourage the development of systems for Location Mention Recognition (LMR) from microblogs during emergencies. These automatic systems are anticipated to support the relief activities that are executed by response authorities during disasters. \n\nThe best teams from the 2022 competition showcase their solutions, are awarded during this session and receive certificates to recognize their outstanding performance. \n\nSpeakers:\nReem Ali Suwaileh\nQatar University\n\nReinhard Scholl\nInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nThomas Basiliko\nInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nModerators:\nAndrea Manara\nInternational Telecommunication Union (ITU)\n\nJoin the Neural Network! \nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/neural-network/\nThe AI for Good networking community platform powered by AI. \nDesigned to help users build connections with innovators and experts, link innovative ideas with social impact opportunities, and bring the community together to advance the SDGs using AI.\n\n Watch the latest #AIforGood videos!\n\n\nExplore more #AIforGood content:\n AI for Good Top Hits\n • Top Hits \n\n AI for Good Webinars\n • AI for Good Webinars \n\n AI for Good Keynotes\n • AI for Good Keynotes \n\n Stay updated and join our weekly AI for Good newsletter:\nhttp://eepurl.com/gI2kJ5\n\n Discover what's next on our programme!\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/programme/\n\nCheck out the latest AI for Good news:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/newsroom/\n\nExplore the AI for Good blog:\nhttps://aiforgood.itu.int/ai-for-good-blog/\n\n Connect on our social media:\nWebsite: https://aiforgood.itu.int/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/AIforGood\nLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/26511907 \nLinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8567748 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiforgood \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AIforGood\n\nWhat is AI for Good?\nWe have less than 10 years to solve the UN SDGs and AI holds great promise to advance many of the sustainable development goals and targets.\nMore than a Summit, more than a movement, AI for Good is presented as a year round digital platform where AI innovators and problem owners learn, build and connect to help identify practical AI solutions to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.\nAI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with Switzerland.\n\nDisclaimer:\nThe views and opinions expressed are those of the panelists and do not reflect the official policy of the ITU.
