Classification With Costly Features as a Sequential Decision‐Making Problem

Our team has some of the brightest young talents in artificial intelligence who are already publishing high-quality research papers. To support healthy competitive environment and push students to improve their presentation skills, we decided to start organizing an internal competition to evaluate works published by students as first author in the previous year. The first edition of the competition titled AIC 2021 Student Paper Award proved to be an amazing platform to showcase what our young researchers are capable of. We were blown away by the research quality and want to share the results with you as well. All the presentations were recorded and published in this YouTube channel.
