Innovation & Data Science Team Clinches Champion in iFLYTEK AI Developer Competition

"The Academic Document Chapter-based Structure Restoration Challenge - Final" in 2023 iFLYTEK AI Developer Competition aims to leverage advanced AI algorithms and Large Language Model (LLM) to restore the chapter-based structure of multi-page academic documents and fill the gaps in previous research to foster the further development of the integration of AI and academic document processing technology. The Competition has been organized successfully for 5 years, attracting over 73,000 developer teams to participate. This year's Competition raised a total of 108 questions and attracted 32,000 teams from well-known companies and universities, including Hikvision, Tsinghua University, University of Southern California, Peking University, etc.

Empowered by the "ICT-MiiND Big Data Platform", the innovation and data science team of CITIC Telecom CPC used innovative, accurate computer vision technology and natural language processing technology, underwent intensive and repeated testing (around 3 times of tests as conducted by 1st Runner Up), the team once again shines and is crowned the championship in the final, demonstrating the team's innovation and execution capabilities in integrating multiple AI technologies and technical applications. At the same time, the team leveraged intelligent thinking to formulate effective processing solutions at three levels: solutions, training techniques, and strategies. With the use of the structural restoration method, the team identified the categories and relevance of paragraphs in documents, ultimately solving the traditional problem of relying on keyword searches in document retrieval, lack of semantic context comprehension, and as a result enhancing retrieval accuracy and relevance.
