Challenge Description

The SMP Challenge is an annual competition organized by a joint team
from multiple research organizations. We are seeking excellent
research teams to provide new ways of forecasting problems and
meaningfully improve people’s social lives and business
scenarios. Temporal Popularity Prediction is a massive-scale,
multimodal, and time-series forecasting problem that is central to
various scenarios, such as online advertising, social recommendation,
demand forecasting, etc. We released a large-scale Social Media
Prediction Dataset (SMPD) with over 486K posts, 70K users, and rich
information including user profiles, images, texts, times, locations,
and categories.

Problem

The task is a massive scale, multimodal and time-series forecasting
problem that is central to various scenarios, such as online
advertising, social recommendation, demand forecasting, etc. The task
is focused on predicting future clicks or visits of new social media
posts (photos, videos or news) before they were shared on social
media(e.g., Flickr, Twitter or Facebook, etc.).

Awards
We would award the Best Performance Award and the Top Performance
Award to the top-performing teams. The high-quality paper of
top-performing teams would have opportunities to be accepted in the
Proceedings of the 30th ACM Multimedia Conference
