The DASA Real-World Incident Response Hackathon will take place on 26-27 November in Central London.
This hackathon will focus on improving the way we investigate incidents through the application of Multimedia Analysis and Artificial Intelligence.
Participants will be asked to process large amounts of real-world incident multimedia data and rapidly identify key information for on-site experts - people, places, events, in fact anything that may assist an investigations team.
We’re interested in how entities relate to each other, the event timeline and narrative, and near-term predictions. Data will mostly take the form of video which will be varied in quality, source, and format. Some will be live-streamed during the event.
This is a unique opportunity for participants to demonstrate their ability to extract useful information and insights from large multimedia data sources which would help teams to respond to incidents more quickly and effectively. We expect the successful hackathon attendees to leverage Artificial Intelligence techniques including Machine Vision, Facial Recognition, and Object Recognition, as well as being able to process multimedia sources in a variety of formats from a variety of sources.
At the end of the second day a final prize presentation will take place.
