Solving the problems of the preliminary and main stages of the first All-Russian Olympiad in artificial intelligence for students of 8th-11th grades

Abstract

The article discusses approaches to developing a system of Olympiad tasks, features of the event, as well as solving tasks of two stages of the first All-Russian Olympiad in artificial intelligence for 8th—11th grades, held in October-November 2021 by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation as part of the Federal Project "Artificial Intelligence" of the National Program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation". The topics of the Olympiad tasks were Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision. At all stages of the Olympiad, the Python programming language with specialized libraries for solving artificial intelligence problems was used. The material with the analysis of tasks will be useful when teaching informatics at an advanced level at school, including when preparing schoolchildren to participate in the next Olympiad in artificial intelligence in an individual format.
