CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

AAIA’14 Data Mining Competition at the Knowledge Pit

http://fedcsis.org/dm_competition

We would like to cordially invite you to consider participating in 
AAIA’14 Data Mining Competition held as part of the FedCSIS 2014 - a 
yearly international multi-conference organized by the Polish 
Information Processing Society (PTI) in technical cooperation with the 
IEEE Region 8, IEEE Poland Section Computer Society Chapter, IEEE Poland 
(Gdansk) Section Computer Society Chapter, ACM Special Interest Group on 
Applied Computing, International Federation for Information Processing, 
European Alliance for Innovation, Informatics Europe, IEEE-CIS Poland 
Section Chapter, Asociación de Técnicos de Informática, Committee of 
Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Society for 
Business Informatics, Polish Chamber of Information Technology and 
Telecommunications, Polish Chamber of Commerce for High Technology and 
Eastern Cluster ICT Poland.

INTRODUCTION

Key risk factors for Polish State Fire Service is organized within the 
framework of the 9th International Symposium on Advances in Artificial 
Intelligence and Applications (AAIA'14), and is an integral part of the 
1st Complex Events and Information Modelling workshop (CEIM'14) devoted 
to the fire protection engeneering. The task is related to the problem 
of extracting useful knowledge from incident reports obtained from The 
State Fire Service of Poland. Prizes worth over 3,000 USD will be 
awarded to the most successful teams. The contest is sponsored by Dituel 
Sp. z o.o. and F&K Consulting Engineers, with a support from The 
University of Warsaw and ICRA project.

Incident Data Reporting Systems (IDRS) are used by public safety 
services across the globe to gather information about the incidents 
which required their actions. This information is used not only to 
simply document the events but it can also be incorporated into the 
training of new officers. Moreover, the knowledge extracted from such 
reports can help in better identification of threats and in planning of 
more effective procedures. An example of such a reporting system is EWID 
which is used by the State Fire Service of Poland. In the proposed 
competition, we would like to raise the problem of extracting useful 
knowledge from the reports generated in the EWID system, represented in 
a form of a data table. In particular, we would like to ask the 
participants to identify key factors influencing the risk of serious 
injuries among firefighters and people involved in various incidents. 
The contest will be hosted on a web platform called Knowledge Pit, 
designed especially for supporting organization of data mining 
competitions associated with scientific conferences.

A special session devoted to the competition will be held at 1st Complex 
Events and Information Modelling workshop (CEIM'14) which is a part of 
9th International Symposium on Advances in Artificial Intelligence and 
Applications (AAIA'14). We will invite authors of selected reports to 
extend them for publication in the conference proceedings (after reviews 
by Organizing Committee members) and presentation at the conference. The 
invited teams will be chosen based on their final rank, innovativeness 
of their approach and quality of the submitted report.

AWARDS

Authors of the top ranked solutions will be awarded with valuable prizes:
- First Prize: computer hardware worth 2,000USD + one free FedCSIS'14 
registration,
- Second Prize: computer hardware worth 1,000USD + one free FedCSIS'14 
registration,
- Third Prize: one free FedCSIS'14 conference registration.

The award ceremony will take place during the FedCSIS'14 conference 
(September 7-10, Warsaw). Additionally, authors of all papers accepted 
for presentation at the CEIM'14 workshop, who decide to attend the 
conference will receive a diploma and a competition T-shirt.
