Global AI Innovation Contest-Algorithm Challenge

❖Introduction to the contest

2022 Global AI Innovation Contest-Algorithm Challenge is co-founded by Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and Hangzhou Yuhang District People's Government, and co-hosted by Hangzhou Mordecai Science and Technology City Management Committee and Jingdong Retail. The contest will be based on international vision, focus on cutting-edge technology and application innovation, promote academic exchange, talent training, technical water development and cross-border application and integration in the field of artificial intelligence, and create a talent exchange platform and industrial ecosystem for artificial intelligence.

❖Track Setting

01 Graphical matching of key attributes of e-commerce

The main product image and product title in e-commerce platforms are the most intuitive and easiest data to reach users. Therefore, the consistency of the image and text is crucial, and the model is required to determine whether the information conveyed by the two-modal data is consistent based on the image and text. This competition question requires teams to determine whether the product images and product titles match by the degree of correlation between them in terms of key product attributes.

02 Product title entity identification

Product title entity recognition in e-commerce platforms is a core fundamental task in NLP applications, which can be reused in a variety of downstream scenarios. Accurate extraction of product-related entities from title text can improve user experience and platform efficiency in business scenarios such as retrieval and recommendation. This competition problem requires players to use the model to extract the entities in the product title text.

❖Award Setting

Prize money: prize pool of 1 million RMB

OFFER: Winners have direct access to JD.com OFFER opportunities (for current students only).

❖Target participants

The competition is open to all ages and nationalities, and is open to students in higher education institutions (including senior high school, undergraduate and graduate students) as well as practitioners in research institutions and enterprises.
