CIKM 2025 Alibaba International Competition Workshop

Introduction

This workshop highlights the results of the Alibaba International CIKM 2025 Analyticup competition on multilingual search relevance. The competition aims to advance multilingual search technologies by leveraging LLMs to improve search accuracy in noisy, real-world e-commerce environments. More specifically, two tasks are being explored:

1. Multilingual Query-Category Relevance Task: Determine the relevance between a user's search query and a specific product category.
2. Multilingual Query-Item Relevance Task: Assess the alignment between a user's multilingual search query and a specific product listing.

Participating teams built models on our curated dataset and submitted technical reports describing their approaches and results.
