We invite you to join our NL4Opt competition that will be part of NeurIPS2022. We have a novel never-before-seen NLP dataset in hopes of making optimization solvers more accessible and usable. The competition aims to allow non-experts to use optimization tools in their decision-making. This competition is split into two main tasks: NER and generation. We have provided baselines for each to kick-start your implementation. We will award a total of $22,000 USD evenly across the two tasks. We will also be hosting a workshop at the end of the competition and will be inviting experts and winners as podium speakers.

We look forward to your participation – you can register ( https://nl4opt.github.io/participate/ ) and our organizers will be in touch with you shortly. For more informatio...
