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.
