Dear Colleagues,


AAAI is pleased to announce the continuation of the AAAI Video Competition,
now entering its ninth year. The video competition will be held in
conjunction with the AAAI-15 conference in Austin Texas, USA, January
25-29, 2015. At the main AAAI-15 awards ceremony, authors of award-winning
videos will be presented with "Shakeys", trophies named in honour of SRI's
Shakey robot and its pioneering video. Top videos will be screened during
the award ceremony and during a dedicated session. All videos will also be
visible throughout the conference.


The goal of the competition is to show the world how much fun AI is by
documenting exciting artificial intelligence advances in research,
education, and application. View previous entries and award winners at
http://www.aaaivideos.org/past_competitions or watch last year’s videos on
youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/aaaivideocompetition.


The rules are simple: Compose a short video about an exciting AI project,
and narrate it so that it is accessible to a broad online audience. We
strongly encourage student participation.


To increase reach, select videos will be uploaded to YouTube and promoted
through social media (twitter, facebook, g+) and major blogs in AI and
robotics. Last year’s videos were viewed over 10 000 times.


This year, we will also be running a People’s Choice Award on Robohub (
http://robohub.org) where viewers on internet can vote for their favorite
AI video.


The AAAI Video Competition is also an ideal opportunity to give further
visibility to contributions presented at AAAI-15. We therefore welcome
videos associated with manuscripts submitted to AAAI-15 or with entries
submitted to the Demo Track and to the Robotics Exhibitions. We will make
sure to publicize your paper/demo/exhibit in the video proceedings and
during the award ceremony. More information on these events can be found
