On July 20, the China Meteorological Administration issued the "Artificial Intelligence Meteorological Application Work Plan (2023-2030)", which aims to accelerate the deployment of domestic artificial intelligence meteorological application technology system construction , and promote the application of artificial intelligence technology in meteorological observation, forecasting and services. Deeply integrated applications provide new technical support for precise monitoring, accurate forecasting, and fine service.
In order to respond to the national top-level policy, make full use of artificial intelligence technology as an important driving force for a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, promote the high-quality development of meteorology in Shandong Province, and help solve technical bottlenecks, Shandong Meteorological Society and Shandong Information Association organized the first The first Qilu Fengyun Meteorological Intelligent Algorithm Challenge (hereinafter referred to as the "Competition"), Hejing Technology, as a co-organizer, provided support for this competition throughout the process .
The competition is open to technological innovation forces from all walks of life, and three competition questions are provided in each track, namely: 0-6 hours precipitation nowcasting algorithm, 0-24 hours precipitation short-term forecast algorithm, hour-by-hour wind direction and speed and hourly extremes. High wind speed 0-48 hours short-term forecasting algorithm - the organizer hopes that the contestants can deeply understand and master the application of advanced algorithms in the meteorological field through the competition , and also hope to form a social crowd-creation mechanism with the competition as a contact point , providing cross-field, cross-cutting The combination of disciplines provides an effective way to solve business problems.
A total of 1,522 meteorological algorithm enthusiasts from Jiangsu, Beijing, Shandong and other parts of the country formed 1,242 participating teams to complete the registration on the Hejing Community Event Platform . Hongtu's algorithm engineers and meteorological technicians also have teachers and students from Peking University, National University of Science and Technology, and Nanxin University.
The Hejing community event platform is connected to the CPU and GPU computing power resources provided by Inspur Cloud , which provides guarantee for the smooth participation of the above 1,522 contestants throughout the process ; in addition, Hejing also supports online Q&A, and the background work order system is combined with the event community , Quickly respond to various problems encountered by the contestants during the competition.
In the end, the Whale community competition platform received a total of 2028 submissions from Track 1, 1811 submissions from Track 2, and 3666 submissions from Track 3.
A total of 3666 submissions were made by 533 participants in track three
In order to fairly evaluate the entries, Hejing assists the organizer to build a complete review system , and provides different auxiliary functions and services in stages as the competition progresses :
In the preliminary stage, Hejing only conducts automatic review and real-time scoring for the objective result files output by the contestants through algorithmic model reasoning.
In the rematch stage, the contestants first package and upload the code of the inference stage, and deploy it on ModelWhale, a data science collaboration platform under Hejing , as a model service; Hejing provides automated model review , which can target the objectivity of the model service without the contestants touching the test data. Real-time performance scores ensure the fairness of the event to a greater extent and greatly improve the efficiency of evaluation . In order to prevent cheating such as plagiarism , Hejing requires contestants to upload model training codes and ensure that both model training codes and inference codes can be reproduced on ModelWhale; Too much time is wasted, and Whale provides offline tasks and supports cloud hosting of codes , enabling players to complete task deployment in an offline state, completely freeing time and energy.
In the final stage, the organizer selects the algorithm model with the highest score in the semi-final automated model review, and inputs the real data of the regional weather in Shandong Province in 2023 to call the model service again, and judges the score; the contestants will display the algorithm and results in the form of offline defense , the experts will ask questions, conduct exchanges, and complete the final evaluation work.
During the review process, many entries far exceeded expectations. Hejing assisted the organizer in selecting the most advanced artificial intelligence meteorological algorithm and included it in the Shandong Meteorological Business Service Intelligent Meteorological Algorithm Library, effectively improving the performance of disastrous weather monitoring, forecasting and early warning. Accuracy and advance , and further strengthen the first line of defense for meteorological disaster prevention and mitigation.
On July 16, the competition finals and awards ceremony ended perfectly in Jinan City, Shandong Province, and Whale provided offline services for the whole process of the finals .
After layers of selection and fierce competition, a total of 26 works stood out in the finals. Each track was divided into 1 first prize, 2 second prizes, 3 third prizes and 2 to 4 excellence awards, and won honors respectively Certificates and entry prizes ranging from 1,500 to 40,000 yuan.
During the award ceremony, Pang Hongkui, chairman of the Shandong Meteorological Society, said that holding the competition is an important measure to promote Shandong Meteorological Science and Technology Innovation and expand open cooperation . The cooperation between the co-organizers will form a socialized crowd-creation mechanism, further improve the results of the competition, let new technologies play a full role in the weather forecast business, and contribute to the promotion of high-quality meteorological development and service guarantee. strength.
As a co-organizer, Hejing Technology fully cooperates with the organizers and organizers of the competition throughout the process, assists the contestants to participate in the competition, supports peer-to-peer evaluation work at all levels , and always implements the spirit of the competition, cultivating, selecting, and delivering application-oriented talents for the meteorological science field in Shandong Province and even the country. Data science talents promote the development and progress of the entire industry.
Hejing integrates the powerful data science collaboration platform ModelWhale , the Hejing community with rich practical case resources , and Hejing Kesai's many years of experience in running competitions and competition modules , and has built the most complete product + resource + service system , covering Earth sciences, biomedicine, humanities and social sciences and other professional fields, and have implemented best practices in national institutions such as the National Meteorological Information Center, China Natural Resources Aviation Geophysical Prospecting and Remote Sensing Center, and hope to use the accumulated and precipitated experience and methodology, Bring substantial help to every pioneer unit that intends to participate in the cultivation of applied data science talents.
