Please provide the following information.
- Provide a short summary of your proposed post for the Wikimedia Technical Blog. Blog readers will see this as the preview to your post:
We would like to publish a post to advertise the launch of a Kaggle competition. In the competition, participants will be given a large dataset of open Wikipedia image and textual data, and they will be asked to build systems that, given an image, can retrieve the piece of text which is closer to that image. As part of the launch of this competition, we are also releasing (at least) 6M image files and corresponding visual features. Therefore, part of the post will be about this data release and how it empowers scientific and developer communities.
- Which topic type does your blog post fall under? See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_technical_blog_editorial_guidelines#Outlines_for_topics:
Tech community events and outreach programs
- Which audience or audiences do you think your post is appropriate for?:
Volunteer developers, researchers, data scientists
- Will you need assistance with writing your blog post, or do you already have a draft? If you have a draft, please provide a link here:
I don't have a draft yet, but I can make one by next week.
- Does your post need to be published by a certain date?
The launch of the competition will be between the 5th and the 10th of September, so ideally we would time the blog post release around those dates.
- Do you have an image in mind for the featured image? You can learn more here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_technical_blog_editorial_guidelines#Images_used_in_your_post

- Do you have any other questions or comments?
Once your request is received, a technical blog admin will review it and reach out to you through Phabricator.
