European Statistics Awards Program (organized by Eurostat)
Dear colleagues of “Ss. Cyril and Methodius” University in Skopje,
On behalf of Eurostat, We are pleased to announce the launch of the European Statistics Awards on Web Intelligence – Classification of Occupations for Online Job Advertisements Challenge (WI Classification Challenge), starting on June 1, 2024. It will focus on the development of approaches that learn how to assign a class label (from a known taxonomy) to a job advertisement from a given job ads dataset.
We believe that the researchers in your country (in particular data scientists) would be most interested in signing up for this opportunity.
Teams (1–5 people per team) will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge of Web Intelligence and programming skills (in particular in Python and R) to a real-world use case and win €10,000 for first place in the Accuracy award, €10,000 for first place in the Reusability award, and €5,000 for first place in the Innovativeness award. By taking first place in all three awards, the team could win up to €25,000.
We would therefore appreciate if you could:
– post the announcement (below), flyer and a link to the European Statistics Awards homepage, on your website;
– distribute the announcement (below) and flyer to your mailing lists (via a newsletter or an email message);
– share the announcement and flyer with your research networks;
– Repost Twitter or LinkedIn announcements with #EUStatisticsAwards, #EUwebintelligenceAwards
Please register your team for the European Statistics Awards for Web Intelligence at https://statistics-awards.eu/accounts/signup/
