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. 

Our Task:

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 the 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.).

      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 28th ACM Multimedia Conference
