This article introduces the AI Challenger 2018 global AI competition, an open-source dataset and programming competition platform aimed at meeting the needs of AI talent for high-quality, rich datasets and promoting the integration of AI in research and business to solve real-world problems. The competition is co-hosted by Innovation Workshop, Sogou, Meituan-Dianping, and Meitu, featuring over ten new datasets across different domains, more than ten competitions with both research and industrial applications, and prizes exceeding 3 million RMB.
Meituan-Dianping is participating for the first time as a co-organizer, responsible for two challenging main track topics: fine-grained user comment sentiment analysis and autonomous driving visual perception. The datasets and problem statements for these tracks are managed by the NLP Center's Wang Zhongyuan team and the autonomous delivery department's Xia Huaxia team, respectively. The fine-grained user comment dataset involved 350 annotators working nearly 60,000 hours, with each data point confirmed by at least two professional annotators.
The article also announces a technical salon by Meituan-Dianping's Technology Team and Meituan Science Association, featuring online live courses with 2-3 sessions per month. The first session, scheduled for October 24, 2018, at 8:00 PM, will feature Dr. Wang Zhongyuan discussing knowledge graphs and Meituan's AI brain. Registration links for both the competition and the technical salon are provided.
