RecSysChallenge@RecSys2020
March 24, 2020
The RecSys Challenge 2020 will be organized by Politecnico di Bari, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, TU Wien, University of Colorado, Boulder, and Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, and sponsored by Twitter. The challenge focuses on a real-world task of tweet engagement prediction in a dynamic environment. The goal is to predict the probability for different types of engagement (Like, Reply, Retweet, and Retweet with Comment) of a target user for a set of tweets, based on heterogeneous input data. Twitter has released a large public dataset of 160M public tweets, obtained by subsampling within ~2 weeks, that contains engagement features, user features, and tweet features.
