Three Chinese technology companies—Sougou, Sinovation Ventures, and Bytedance—have launched a competition called the AI Challenger offering 2 million yuan (US $305,106) in prizes to developers that come up with the best AI systems in any of five categories: English-Chinese simultaneous interpretation, English-Chinese machine translation, scene classification, human skeletal system keypoints detection, and image captioning. The AI challenger has published three datasets to serve as training data for the challenge, including 300,000 images of skeletal system keypoints, over 300,000 images with 1.5 million Chinese captions, and 10 million pairs of conversational language in English and Chinese.
