MICON

MICON is a platform for Machine Intelligence Contests

Project Specifications

There are a few major sections to the site:

• Main page - will feature each weekends competition
• Competition page - Page hosting all of the details of the currently active competition
• Competition gallery - Page listing/linking to previously complete competitions
• MICON admin panel - An admin panel that facilitates the creation of a new contest (in a sense MICON is a CMS for machine intelligence contests)

Main page

• Suggested template: http://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-creative/ (source available at: https://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/creative/)

MICON admin panel

• Each competition will be created in the admin panel (which will store competition related info into a database), fields required for each competition include:
  • competition_title_short
  • competition_title_full
  • competition_start_time
  • competition_end_time
  • competition_logo - a small image related to the competition
  • competition_image - a large image related to the competition (for the main page and competition page)
  • competition_description_short
  • competition_description_full
  • competition_training_data (browse/upload field)
  • competition_testing_data (browse/upload field) - site security must be tight so no one can access this

---

• After a competition is created, we should be able to see a list of all created competitions in the admin panel. Then we can select a competition and hit a button called "Activate" to make that competition the active competition. When we do that, competition_image will go to the front page, and competition_description_short will also go to the front page. A new competition url will be created /url/competition_title_short (this url will link to a page with the Competition page format)

• When a competition finishes (based on competition_end_time), it and all associated information will get archived and added to the Competition gallery
