Dec. 10, 2018 – 

In recognition of the increasing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) on future innovations, Samsung Electronics has been investing in and expanding its AI capabilities by establishing seven Global AI Centers in 2018. Founded in May, Samsung AI Center-Moscow (SAIC-Moscow) has already made marks winning a series of highly prestigious Global AI competitions.

Pavel Ostyakov, one of the researchers from SAIC-Moscow, won first place among 110 teams at the "Inclusive Images Challenge," a Kaggle1 competition hosted by Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2018, which took place in Montreal, Canada from December 3rd to the 8th. NeurIPS, formerly known as NIPS, is the world's largest conference in the field of AI. As of 2017, a total of 8,000 people participated at the event. Apart from machine learning and neuroscience, experts from many related research fields such as cognitive science, computer vision, statistical linguistics, and information theory actively participate in the conference. Winning this challenge was a significant achievement for both Samsung and Pavel as he has been named the Competitions Grandmaster in the Kaggle category of data science expertise, which is the highest tier possible. Pavel also has the honor of being ranked one of the world's top five scientists on Kaggle.

In the "Inclusive Images Challenge", participants developed image recognition and classifier models that can successfully perform image classification tasks even when the test images are geographically and culturally different from the previously shown images in which the recognition models were trained for.
