X-ITE PAIN Challenge 2025

Announcement of the X-ITE pain challenge at ACII 2025

We are happy to announce the X-ITE pain challenge at the 2025 international conference on affective computing and intelligent interaction. The challenge focuses on developing AI-based solutions for classifying the low and medium pain samples in the X-ITE database. This is challenging, since the expression of pain is individual and varies fluidly within those two classes, making it a subject worth examining. The challenge provides samples from 26 X-ITE participants in short 10-second windows, covering all available modalities. Starting on June 20^th, a small test set will be available without ground truth and will be used to determine the winner of the challenge. The winners will be presented at the corresponding workshop at ACII 2025 in Canberra, Australia, on the 11^th of October 2025.
