ABOUT THE CONTEST

The Up Great technology contest READ//ABLE is designed to stimulate the development of new approaches to machine learning to let the artificial intelligence to understand deeply the meaning of the text and to analyze the causal relationships in a wide range of topics.

To complete the task, participants will have to go beyond the typical processing of statistical data and developing of predictions based on them.

New technologies will significantly improve the interaction between a computer and a human, create tools for a more efficient solving a wide range of intelligent tasks.

The competition is held as part of the Up Great technology contests, an instrument for the formation and support of teams engaged in the search for qualitatively new solutions in various fields.
