External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 4 external links on Competitions and prizes in artificial intelligence. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This Article Should Not Be a List

Right now, this basically serves as a list article with poor structure and coverage. Properly maintaining a list of these is not feasible since there are far too many challenges to cover. I think it would be better to structure this article as a narrative of the origin/history of these competitions and what they contribute to the field. Certain competitions are certainly worth mentioning, but we should be mindful of the policies surrounding undue weight when listing.

I'm happy to have a go at restructuring this if there are no objections

Blue linked competitions should be included, its not undue weight in a relatively short list. Also there should be no promotionalism, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:19, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not opposed to including lists within categories of particularly noteworthy competitions (e.g. the DARPA challenges or the Netflix Prize -- so yes, the blue linked ones). My issue is with for example the Pittsburgh Brain Activity Interpretation Competition which is referenced only by a link to the competition homepage. There are thousands of competitions held each year that meet the same standard of notability. Neheller (talk) 20:38, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts on "Prizes" in this context

Obviously the prizes of the competitions are fair game to discuss here, but I don't think the Rumelhart Prize for example belongs in this article. The List of computer science awards is probably a better place for something like that. To prevent this in the future, maybe "Artificial Intelligence Competitions" is a better name for the article.

@Neheller: You are right. Would you mind cutting these kind of awards/prizes? To save them, either put them here (on the talk page), create a new section in the article for these kind of awards or find where they belong in Wikipedia. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 17:59, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Imagenet

This article should mention the Imagenet challenge. Not sure where to put it, exactly. Text and a source are available at Progress in artificial intelligence § Competitions ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 17:56, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
