We are delighted to open the call for proposals for hosting challenge problems for the WSDM Cup 2025, a high impact ML \/ AI competition event that will be co-located with the WSDM 2025 main conference in Hannover, Germany from March\n 10-14th. <\/p>\n

Competitions of this form are a crucial part of the research ecosystem, bringing together world-class experts from all over the world to independently evaluate their own best ideas on an important problem. Past experience has shown\n this process to create both amazing progress on specific problems, but also help to achieve a depth of validation and understanding in a way that lives up to the highest ideals of empirical rigor for AI and ML as research field.\n <\/p>\n

We are seeking proposals for challenge problems and datasets from both industrial and academic institutions, with an emphasis on novel challenges that will help uncover the most topical and important issues facing the WSDM community\n today. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, we are delighted to announce that this year\u2019s challenge (or challenges, if more than one is selected) will be conducted on Kaggle and that the WSDM Cup will be supported by full-time Kaggle staff. In addition to waiving\n their usual fees for a selected WSDM challenge, Kaggle will also be providing a USD 50,000 prize fund in order to attract the largest possible levels of participation from across the community. <\/p>\n

We strongly encourage all interested institutions and research groups to submit proposals and be part of this important challenge. Hosting the challenge is a fantastic way to bring a strong spotlight to previously under-studied areas\n or emerging topics, to showcase expertise, to establish new benchmarks in the field, and to contribute to advancing the field forward on real world problems. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
