Topics of Interest

Call for Participation

The 2020 SIGIR workshop on eCommerce is hosting the Rakuten Multi-modal Product Data Classification and Retrieval challenge. This challenge focuses on two topics, namely large-scale multi-modal (text and image) classification and cross-modal retrieval. The goal of the multi-modal classification task is to predict each product’s 'type code' as defined in the catalog of Rakuten France. In the cross-modal retrieval task, presented with the text of the products, the goal is to retrieve the images corresponding to the products.
