Computational Intelligence Technology Center (CITC) is the first big data R&D center to bridge the big data technology across industries in Taiwan. CITC aims to develop intelligent analytics technologies to boost Artificial Intelligence and big data core capabilities for local IT software companies, also to apply intelligent analytics to help the related industries to enhance their productivity and create new business opportunities. The cross-disciplinary approach enables CITC’s core technology capabilities to provide intelligent analytics and machine learning algorithms that industries need. CITC develops an open Artificial Intelligence and big data platform to create solutions that facilitate the innovative application for service design and business model for industries.

Introduction

Automated optical inspection (AOI) [1] is an automated visual inspection of printed circuit board (PCB) (or LCD,transistor) manufacture where a camera autonomously scans the device under test for both catastrophic failure (e.g. missing component) and quality defects (e.g. fillet size or shape or component skew). It is commonly used in the manufacturing process because it is a non-contact test method. It is implemented at many stages through the manufacturing process including bare board inspection, solder paste inspection (SPI), pre-reflow and post-reflow as well as other stages. The Institute of Electronics and Optoelectronics in Industrial Technology Research Institute(ITRI) has spent years on developing flexible displays, hoping to elevate the production quality with AOI technology during the pilot run. This time we have invited experts from different fields to join us, and focus on identifying defect classifications of AOI image data that are offered so as to elevate the identification efficiency of AOI through statistical science.

Evaluation Criteria

After classification models of defect prediction are offered by researchers participating in the issue, the back-end of the system would process them in bathces regularly to calculate the score. Evaluations are conducted by calculating the corresponding accuracy rate of the actual value.

The following is the formula:

$$Accuracy = {\text{Number of correct predictions} \over \text{Number of total predictions}}$$

Rules

  • The evaluation will be based on the final uploaded result.
  • The maximum number of uploading times is 5 times per day.
  • This topic does not offer a team-up option, only one account per person is allowed, and each person can only participate once. If any violations are found, people who are involved would be forced to withdraw the activity.
  • All the data, techniques and source codes that are used belong to the participants. If any third-party claims their intellectual property rights or other rights and interests are being violated, the participant will need to handle the disputes personally. If any participants violate intellectual property rights, they will be disqualified, and shall bear legal responsibilities.
  • All the achievements and their IPRs (intellectual property rights) belong to the participants, and the Copyright License Agreements, patent applications, technology transfer and equity distributions of them, should be in accordance with the relevant Laws and Regulations.
  • The organizers reserve the right to enquire the results or take any related actions.
  • There should be no answer discussions between different accounts, or it will be considered as cheating.
  • If there is cheating or fraud during the activity, the participant that cheats will be disqualified from the activity.
  • After uploading, the answers of test data would be divided into two parts to calculate the score:
    • Before the deadline of the activity: The system will examine and calculate the score refer to the Ground Truth of approximately 40% of the entire test data. The result will be posted on the Public Leaderboard.
    • After the deadline of the activity: The system will examine and calculate the score referring to the Ground Truth of the remaining test data (approximately 60%). The result will be posted on the Private Leaderboard.
  • Any artificial marking is forbidden.
  • Should there be disputes, the organizers reserves the right to the final decision.
  • The organizers reserve the right to modify any details regarding the contest when needed.
