Cloud Intelligence Rising: Taiwan Generative AI Application Hackathon - Feng Chia Team Wins First Prize with Resilient Future

Organized by DIGITIMES and partnered internationally with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the "Cloud Intelligence Rising: Taiwan Generative AI Application Hackathon" held its finals on April 26-27 at the Taipei Eslite Hotel. The event brought together practical challenges and data resources provided by the government and industry, with 29 universities, 112 teams, and 472 participants from across Taiwan showcasing their generative AI application capabilities.

Feng Chia University's College of Cloud Innovation trained two interdisciplinary teams to participate, both performing outstandingly. Among them, the team "Go Find Another Team for Revenge," composed of Szu-Ya Chen from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Fu-Kuei Wang from the AI Technology and Applications Program, Yi-Chun Yang from the Department of Business Administration, and industry professionals, won the first prize in the Creative Exchange Group - Chunghwa Telecom category with their disaster response application "Rescue Master - Citizen Edition v2.0."

Szu-Ya Chen, Fu-Kuei Wang, Yi-Chun Yang, and industry professionals from Feng Chia University won the first prize in the Creative Exchange Group - Chunghwa Telecom category with "Rescue Master - Citizen Edition v2.0."

The Creative Exchange Group - Chunghwa Telecom category focused on "Resilient Future," with 19 teams participating in the preliminary round and 12 advancing to the finals. Teams included outstanding participants from industry and universities, with the finals requiring teams to complete development and presentation within 30 hours.

The winning project by "Go Find Another Team for Revenge" aimed to enhance social resilience during disaster events. They designed the "Rescue Master - Citizen Edition v2.0" app with the core concept: "Even ordinary citizens without medical backgrounds can provide critical assistance during mass casualty events." The app helps on-site individuals perform initial triage (START triage method) and basic treatment actions (such as CPR and bleeding control) without medical expertise, reducing mortality rates and seizing the golden rescue time. The team hopes to integrate Chunghwa Telecom Research Institute's emergency medical information technology in the future to establish a more comprehensive disaster response system for Taiwan.

During the preliminary round, the team clearly outlined the app's main features and completed the initial development on the PartyRock platform. In the finals, they further optimized the model and prompts, improving response accuracy and usability while adding multiple auxiliary features to enhance user experience. They utilized Amazon Bedrock and other AWS services to fully realize their proposal. Ultimately, their innovative design and technical integration capabilities earned them the first prize in the category, showcasing exceptional performance.

Another team, "Spend Bananas and Only Get Monkeys," composed of Chen-Yi Lin and Han-Chiao Ou-Yang from the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Yen-Ting Kuo from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Cheng-Han Lin from Taichung University of Science and Technology, and Yang-Hsuan Chou from National Cheng Kung University, successfully advanced to the finals in the Hacker Group - ETMall AI Sales Expert category. The team proposed an intelligent sales system integrating Coach AI, Sales AI, and Evaluation AI, utilizing AWS cloud services to create a five-level purchase intent recognition and personalized interaction mechanism, aiming to enhance enterprise smart transformation efficiency and demonstrating high application potential.

This hackathon emphasized the cultivation of generative AI applications in multi-agent collaboration, multimodal AI models, and large language model inference capabilities. With comprehensive technical support from AWS, participants were provided with a complete development and presentation environment.

Feng Chia University not only values the deepening of generative AI technology in classroom teaching but also actively encourages students to apply their knowledge in various large-scale competitions, honing their skills and creativity through practical experience. From the inaugural "Cloud Intelligence Rising: Taiwan Generative AI Application Hackathon," where Feng Chia University teams won the top prize in the Hacker Group Gogoro "Smart Mobility" category, to this year's competition, the university's teams once again stood out among many top teams, demonstrating Feng Chia University's outstanding achievements in cultivating cloud computing and AI technology.

The "Cloud Intelligence Rising: Taiwan Generative AI Application Hackathon" gathered 472 participants, with Feng Chia University's College of Cloud Innovation training two interdisciplinary teams to participate, showcasing remarkable performance in the competition.
