Dear colleagues of "Ss. Cyril and Methodius" University in Skopje,
On behalf of Eurostat, we have the pleasure 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 1 June 2024. It will focus on the development of approaches that learn how to assign a class label (from a known taxonomy) to 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.
The teams (1-5 persons 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 use case and win €10 000 for the first place in the Accuracy award, €10 000 for the first place in the Reusability award and €5 000 for the first place in the Innovativity award. Striking first place for 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 a mail 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/
