Cdiscount's Image Classification Challenge

#artificialintelligence

While the company already sells everything from TVs to trampolines, the list of products is still rapidly growing. This is up from 10 million products only 2 years ago. Ensuring that so many products are well classified is a challenging task. As these methods now seem close to their maximum potential, Cdiscount.com In this challenge, we are required to build a model that automatically classifies the products based on their images.


Modelisation of competition between times series

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Competition between times series arises naturally in sales forecasting or in population modelisation. In this article, a model for the behavior of such high-dimensional time series is proposed. This model is based on the prerequisite that the total sum of the time series is distributed between its component following a 'competitiveness' factor inherent to each component. A confidence bound is proposed for the estimation of this model. Then, this model is applied to real-world E-commerce data using a recurrent neural network architecture to compute the model. It improves the results of standard RNN models in most cases.
