In 2010, Kaggle, the world’s leading algorithm contest platform, introduced its first Forecast Eurovision Voting competition with a prize of $1000. In 2015, the first algorithm competition in China was held on Tianchi platform, with the title Ali Mobile Recommendation Algorithm, and the reward was 300,000 yuan, attracting more than 7000 competitors. In spite of the fact that algorithm competitions started later in China than in other countries, China has held 400 of the 1000 worldwide events in this field from 2015 onwards, witnessing an average annual growth rate of 108.8%, a total of more than 1.2 million participants, and 280-million-yuan bonus. With such a high increase rate in the number of contests organized, the technical value, business value, and the inspiration for innovations accumulated from these algorithm competitions are incredible.
Regarding the reason for writing this book, I would like to go back to a message sent to me by Xinglu Chen, the planning editor of the Posts and Telecom Press, on Zhihu (a Chinese question-and-answer website) on April 19, 2019. She said in the message that she had read many of my articles about algorithm competitions, and she knew that I had won many algorithm contests. Therefore, she was expecting me to publish a book about algorithm competitions. From the beginning of 2018, I already have created a column and started to share articles related to such contests. Along the way, I have been continuing to produce. These pieces of writing currently have seen a total of one million views. So, when I received the invitation to write a book on algorithm competitions, I deemed it a great recognition of my effort for sharing competition knowledge as well as to my achievement and accomplishment. I, thus, readily accepted the request and decided to title it Machine Learning Contests: A Guidebook.
In order to complete the work, I invited Peng Liu, the champion and runner-up of many competitions in China, who is also my former teammate in a contest, to co-author. And Xinglu Chen recommended Qian to me, who was the grandmaster of the competition platform Kaggle, and was among the first batch of contestants in China. Considering that we excel in different parts, each of us is responsible for different chapters to ensure the quality of the work.
