STEP as a PASCAL Challenge?
Status
• I gave a talk on STEP to the UCL Center for Computer Science and Machine Learning
• They (including coordinator of the whole PASCAL network) think it would make a good PASCAL Challenge
• If we want to go ahead we should send in a proposal by the end of September
Pros
• Free labour – maybe they solve it for us
• Some funding for developing automated grading of results
• We learn about new statistical methods
• We get to spend our time on all the other issues
Cons
• We were rather hoping to solve it ourselves
• It will take time to set up and might not get many participants
