<div>The Activity in Extended Videos Prize Challenge (ActEV-PC) seeks to encourage the development of robust automatic activity detection algorithms for extended videos. Challenge participants will develop activity detection and temporal localization algorithms
for activities that are to be found in extended videos. ActEV-PC will contain two phases – an open leaderboard evaluation (Phase 1) and an independent ActEV prize evaluation (Phase 2).</div>
