The first stop of Tongji University's competition starts today, and Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute holds the "AI+Brain Science" Global University Tour in the field of AI | Science
After announcing an additional investment of 1 billion yuan in the field of "AI+neuroscience" two weeks ago, Tianqiao Brain Science Research Institute has once again turned its olive branch towards university students. On July 18th, TCCI announced the launch of the "AI+Brain Science" global university tour, with the first stop landing at Tongji University. The competition lasts for two months and revolves around the AI Empowered Brain Science Creative Competition, the Machine Vision Based Glial Cell Recognition Competition, and the Brain Computer Interface Professional Competition. It is open to undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students at Tongji University. The competition features a prize pool of 300000 yuan, and outstanding individuals or teams also have the opportunity to attend TCCI's "AI+Brain Science" summer schools held at home and abroad for further education.
It is reported that several well-known universities at home and abroad have been confirmed to host the following events, with an open and flexible mode. Each hosting university focuses on the theme of "AI+neuroscience" and independently sets competition questions based on its own characteristics and advantageous resources. This competition continues to be open for cooperation with interested universities, academic organizations, clubs, and others worldwide.
According to Cao Wei, the head of TCCI University Tour, TCCI has established a layout around the "AI+neuroscience" strategy, including cutting-edge laboratories, conferences, summer schools, media, and cornerstone partners. As a new member of the "AI+neuroscience" ecosystem, the college challenge aims to fully mobilize the innovative power of young students and step out of the "first mile" of cross disciplinary talent cultivation.
Zhou Junhe, Vice Dean of the School of Electronic and Information Engineering at Tongji University, introduced that the university is one of the first universities in China to obtain the qualification for the construction of undergraduate majors in artificial intelligence. This competition is based on a machine vision glial cell recognition competition, using AI to study microglia and their mediated neuroinflammation, and to identify key factors in the occurrence and development of Alzheimer's disease. The Brain Computer Interface Professional Competition has set up the task of signal analysis algorithms for brain computer interface control systems, while the Creative Competition aims to stimulate students' innovative spirit.
This competition has received full support from cloud computing listed company "Ukede". "The new generation of AI technology, represented by big models, will profoundly promote academic innovation and industrial development, with the medical field including neuroscience being the first to bear the brunt," said Ji Xinhua, Chairman and CEO of Ukede. "Cloud computing enterprises will provide stable, secure, and high-performance technical support for AI developers in various fields, accelerating AI cloud innovation."
