Outbrain Click Prediction Challenge

The dataset for this challenge contains a sample of users’ page views and clicks, as observed on multiple publisher sites in the United States between 14-June-2016 and 28-June-2016. Each viewed page or clicked recommendation is further accompanied by some semantic attributes of those documents. For full details, see data specifications below.

The dataset contains numerous sets of content recommendations served to a specific user in a specific context. Each context (i.e. a set of recommendations) is given a display_id. In each such set, the user has clicked on at least one recommendation. The identities of the clicked recommendations in the test set are not revealed. Your task is to rank the recommendations in each group by decreasing predicted likelihood of being clicked.
