Recently, the 2026 Tencent Advertising Algorithm Competition has officially launched. This competition is co-hosted by Tencent Advertising and the prestigious international conference KDD (ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining), with a total prize pool of up to $885,000 (over 6 million RMB). It also provides real business anonymized data to simulate a practical environment and offers green channel job offers from Tencent globally, inviting participants from academia and industry worldwide to jointly tackle the "Unified Modeling" challenge. This competition is divided into an academic track and an industrial track. The champion team of the academic track will receive a grand prize of $300,000, while the champion of the industrial track can also win $150,000. The competition focuses on the core unresolved issue of the next-generation recommendation architecture in the industry—"Unified sequence modeling and feature interaction for large-scale recommendations." Participants need to handle both multi-field sequences and non-sequential features within a single architecture, outputting the predicted conversion rate (pCVR) for the target advertisement. The competition relies on the Tencent AngeIML platform, providing high-performance computing power and real anonymized business data to support participants' innovations. Notably, the results of the competition will enter the official agenda of the KDD Workshop, and winning solutions will have the opportunity for academic publication. The Tencent Advertising Algorithm Competition has successfully held six editions by 2025. The 2025 Tencent Algorithm Competition, themed "Multimodal Generative Recommendation," attracted over 2,800 teams from more than 30 countries, with more than 8,400 registered participants.
