IOI 2024 Results

Full Results

Below from Live Scoreboard. Notice all 4 members from China team have Gold ranking in the live scoreboard, but in the final results, China team won 2 Gold and 1 Silver.

I am inclined to believe the China team did not cheat. But they should not have brought mobile phones into the contest area.

IOI 2024 Singapore Team Results:

Silver - Yaw Chur Zhe, HCI Year 6

Silver - Brian Xiao Boyang, RI Year 2

Bronze - Kang Yiming, RI Year 6 

Bronze - Sun Beichen, HCI Year 5

International Olympiad in AI (IOAI) 2024 Singapore Team Results

Singapore teams clinch two Gold awards in inaugural International Olympiad in AI

Two teams of students from Singapore have won Gold medals at the first-ever International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI), held at the city of Burgas in Bulgaria this year from 9 to 15 August.

The IOAI is a STEM-focused competition aimed at inspiring, developing, and promoting the best students in AI globally. NTU is the national level organising body and country coordinator for IOAI in partnership with AI Singapore.

Participants are tested on their AI know-how in a Scientific Round which emphasises problem-solving skills that are highly sought after in scientific research. This year’s focus is on Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning, and Computer Vision using real-world datasets.

Following the Scientific Round, participants then took part in a hands-on Practical Round involving the generation of image and video visualisations using AI tools.

Both Singapore teams took home two out of the four available Gold medals in the Scientific Round, beating out over 40 teams from across the world competing in the Olympiad.

The first team comprises students Shah Mahir Hitesh (NUS High School), Kabir Jain (NUS High School), Ng Shi Yu (Temasek Polytechnic), and Wang Zerui (NUS High School).

Members of the second team are Chong Jia Shuo (Nanyang Polytechnic), Lam Eu Ler (NUS High School), Wang Jiayu (NUS High School), and Glenn Wu (Singapore Polytechnic).

Under the guidance of Professor Luke Ong, Vice President (AI & Digital Economy) and Dean of the College of Computing & Data Science (CCDS), NTU conducted the initial selection test at end April, and led the training programme, final team selection, and consultation sessions over the period from May to early August.

More than 60 students from 11 tertiary institutions went through the selection process before the final eight were selected. The students underwent comprehensive AI training sessions and consultations with NTU faculty, postgraduate students and research staff over the last three months.

Leading the two student teams are Associate Professor Cheong Kang Hao, who holds a joint appointment at NTU’s School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences and CCDS, and Senior Lecturer Dr Huang Shell Ying from CCDS.

The trainers of the Singapore IOAI teams are Assistant Professors Alvin Chan, Liu Ziwei, Luu Anh Tuan, and Wang Wenya from CCDS.

Invitation: IMO Alumni Reunion July 20–23 in UK (applications open)

This is posted on behalf of Po-Shen Loh.

Dear IMO alum,

I am happy to inform you that there is a new tradition at the IMO: the alumni reunion. I am the IMO Foundation Vice President for Advancement, and served for a decade as the USA IMO Team Leader (2014–2023). I was a contestant at IMO 1999. I am ordinarily also a math professor at Carnegie Mellon University. 

As an IMO alum, you are invited. The goal of this event is to build a strong long-term network among IMO alumni, which will provide value for everyone involved. It overlaps with the last two days of the IMO itself, so you would get to meet your country's IMO team. Then, the alumni will go off on a 2-day excursion together to Blenheim Palace, Oxford, Bletchley Park, and Cambridge. The total event is 4 days long: July 20–23, 2024. 

All details of this summer's IMO Alumni Reunion information are now public, at https://imof.co/reunion/reunion-2024. The application window is also already open. 

In short: all past IMO alumni are invited, but we have a capacity limit of 50 spots this year, because it is the second year of the IMO Alumni Reunion's history. To be fair, the selection system for which 50 will attend is based purely upon time-of-application (proximity to 00:00 UTC on June 6), combined with a mechanism to balance attendance across countries. The full details are on the reunion webpage. 

I hope you will find this to be a useful new tradition. It could help alumni find jobs, hire great candidates, and even recruit terrific students. It also could help build new friendships across borders. I had the luxury of attending many IMO's as a country's Team Leader, and my personal experience is that this network is one which will strongly benefit anyone who invests their effort in building meaningful relationships. Alumni are currently responsible for the costs, but that may change in the future if additional donations are received. 

If you know other IMO alumni who might be interested, please forward this message to them.

I hope to see you at an upcoming IMO reunion, as the IMO travels from continent to continent. Even if you are not able to make it to this one, if you would like to be informed of future IMO reunion details each year, please leave your non-expiring email contact information here.  

Best, 

Po-Shen Loh
