Running from June to August in both online and in-person formats, this year’s competition attracted more than 200 teams from 26 countries and territories.
The Vietnamese team featured Nguyen Hoang Vu, AI engineer and AIZ CEO, Luong Duc Long from Viettel, and Dang Quang Minh from VCCorp. They developed an AI model capable of being flexibly deployed across various types of devices, even those with limited computing resources, while ensuring high accuracy.
During the contest, the Vietnamese team focused on processing and analysing raw data that was incomplete or inaccurate due to sensor errors, optimising the cooling load prediction model. This achievement allows buildings in Vietnam to apply the solution to save energy.
The Vietnamese team also won first prize in the inaugural competition for the Global AI Challenge in 2022.
