Make My Eyes: World Youth A.I. Object Recognition Programming Competition

Make My Eyes: World Youth A.I. Object Recognition Programming Competition

世界青少年人工智能物件辨識編程比賽

Make My Eyes: World Youth A.I. Object Recognition Programming Workshop cum Competition is a joint initiativ developed by the Department of Computing and Service-Learning & Leadership Office of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in AY2021/22. With the goal of raising students’ awareness of information/digital divide, PolyU students transferred knowledge of A.I. object recognition, machine-learning, and block programming to younger peers in Hong Kong, South Africa, India and the Philippines under the theme of visual impairment and accessibility in July and August 2022.

Make My Eyes: 世界青少年人工智能物件辨識編程工作坊暨比賽由香港理工大學（理大）電子計算學系與服務學習及領導才能發展處合辦。為了提升學生對資訊/數碼鴻溝議題的關注，理大學生指導香港、南非、印度及菲律賓青少年，學習有關機器學習和編程的知識，並製作簡單的人工智能物件辨識系統，透過比賽，體驗科技如何提升視障人士的生活質素。

Competition Details 比賽詳情
Upon completing a 10-hour face-to-face or online training workshop, learners were divided into small teams to build their own A.I. object recognition system. Each team used their system to complete a series of tasks blindfolded to test the system’s effectiveness while putting themselves into the shoes of people challenged by sight loss.
參加者以小組形式，完成十小時的面授或線上教學工作坊，學習製作簡單的人工智能物件辨識系統。每組需要利用自創系統，完成三個蒙眼任務，體會視障人士日常生活中遇到的挑戰，了解人工智能物件辨識科技如何便利視障人士的生活。

• Task 1: Find the Right Instant Noodle 找杯麵任務

  In each team, a player will be given a set of five instant noodles of the same brand, shape, size, and weight but in different flavours. Blindfolded, he/she needs to identify the right flavour AS FAST AS possible using their object recognition system.

  每組一位玩家戴上眼罩，利用其人工智能物件辨識系統，在五個品牌、體積、重量完全相同的包裝即食麵或杯麵中找出特定口味，時間越快越好。

• Task 2: Sort the Lollipops 棒棒糖分類任務

  In each team, a player will be given a bag of lollipops with mixed flavours. Blindfolded, he/she must sort AS MANY lollipops as possible by placing them into four different containers using their object recognition system withintwominutes.

  每組一位玩家戴上眼罩，利用其人工智能物件辨識系統，於兩分鐘内將一堆不同口味的棒棒糖按四個指定類別，分別放進四個紙杯，數量越多越好。

• Task 3: Read the Emojis 表情符號閱讀理解任務

  In each team, blindfolded players will work together to “read” the emojis of a passage that mimics tactile using their object recognition system then answer ten multiple-choice questions.

  每組兩位玩家戴上眼罩，利用其人工智能物件辨識系統，透過觸感「閲讀」文章中的表情符號，並回答十條多項選擇題，越多正確答案越好。

Top 10 Performers (Global Category)

十大優秀組別 (國際賽)

The performance of each team will be recorded to determine the Champion, 1st Runner-up, and 2nd Runner-up of each participating unit. The performance will also be used to compare with teams worldwide to determine awardees for the Global Category. Among the 80 teams joining the Competition from different parts of the world, we send our warmest congratulations to the those who made itinto the top 10. Please refer to the table below:

主辦單位按各組於三個任務中的表現，向各個參與單位分別頒發冠、亞、季軍獎項，以示嘉許。此外，大會亦透過把所有參與單位，合共八十個參賽隊伍的表現作比對，表揚在國際層面上表現最出色的十個組別，詳見下方。

Design Award

設計獎

The Design Award was also set up to recognise learners’ efforts in making their A.I. object recognition system functional and visually appealing. The Judging Panel selected the best design according to usefulness and usability based on the 2-minute video showcasing the lollipop sorting system submitted by each team.

大會另設設計獎，以肯定小組別在提升其物件辨識系統效能、可用性及吸引力方面的努力。每組向主辦單位提交一段不多於兩分鐘的系統展示片段，由大會評審選出冠、亞、季軍得主，詳見下方。
