5TH BRAZILIAN COMPETITION ON KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY IN DATABASES (KDD-BR 2021)

The Brazilian competition on Knowledge Discovery in Databases(KDD-BR) was firstly launched

in the 2017 joint editions of the Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS), the Brazilian Symposium on Databases (SBBD) and the Symposium on Knowledge Discovery, Mining and Learning (KDMiLe), at Uberlândia-MG, Brazil.

This first edition involved classifying images captured by one of the monitoring stations of the EXOSS Citizen Science organization, which monitors meteors crossing the southern skies. The second edition was held in partnership with the IBM research center in São Paulo, as part of the BRACIS and KDMile events. The objective was to predict the production of palm oil harvests from the company Agropalma.

In 2019, the competition involved predicting the similarity between the partitions produced by the manual clustering of a set of molecular markers and those obtained by an auto-clustering tool, using data provided by the Corteva Agriscience company. Last year, the challenge involved predicting the unavailability of cars in a car rental agency using data provided by the Localiza Hertz company.

This year, the fifth edition of the KDD-BR competition will be one of the activities of the BRACIS conference, which will take place online, from November 29th to December 3rd, 2021.

2nd Call for Participation: KDD-BR 2021

News (1): top three teams will get a free registration to present their solutions at BRACIS 2021.News (2): top three teams will be invited to submit a short paper to ENIAC 2021 describing their solutions.

5th KDD-BR (Brazilian Knowledge Discovery in Databases) competition: AI-based approaches to predict solutions of the Travelling Salesman Problem

The 5th KDD-BR (Brazilian Knowledge Discovery in Databases) competition is one of the joint activities of the 2021 edition of BRACIS (Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems), which will organized by the Center for Artificial Intelligence (C4AI) from Universidade de São Paulo, SP, Brazil, from November 29th to December 3rd, 2021.

The objective of this year’s challenge is to develop a method to predict the edges belonging to solutions at tan problems. The traveling salesman problem (TSP) was first proposed in the 1930s, and it is among the most studied problems in combinatorial optimization and operational research, belonging to the class of routing problems.

The dataset contains 100k training examples of TSP problem-solution pairs ranging from 50 to 200 city nodes and was provided by the Loggi company.

The top three teams will be invited to present their solutions at a competition award session at the BRACIS 2021 conference, will receive a free registration pass to present their solutions of the Travelling Salesman Problem
