TigerGraph challenge to inspire Indian innovators apply graph for problem-solving technique

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 -- TigerGraph, provider of a leading graph analytics platform, has launched ‘Graph for All Million Dollar Challenge’, a global search for innovative ways to harness the power of graph technology and machine learning to solve real world problems.

According to a statement, contestants will be part of a worldwide competition to solve crucial problems and have an opportunity to share in US$1,000,000 in cash prizes. (US$1 = RM4.184)

Winners across four main categories will be announced this May at the 2022 Graph + AI Summit, the largest open industry event for graph and AI organised by TigerGraph. Registration is now open with final submission deadline on April 20, 2022.

“We’re giving one million dollars to innovators who push the boundaries of graph and AI technology to uncover new, transformational ways to solve real world issues. The challenge is officially on and we look forward to seeing thousands of registrants, hundreds of mind-blowing entries, and countless new ideas and concepts,” said TigerGraph founder and chief executive officer, Dr Yu Xu.

Meanwhile, TigerGraph India Country Manager, Khushal Bhansali said: “India's AI prowess is emerging as demonstrated by AI-focused innovation. The recent NASSCOM study confirmed this noting over 4,000 AI patents being filed during the period [2016-2021], six times higher than the figure for 2011-2015. 

“The Graph for All Million Dollar Challenge is an outstanding opportunity for Indian innovators to apply graph to their problem-solving techniques and win a huge prize too.”

Entrepreneurs, academics, engineers, and scientists have the freedom to create and use their own problem statement focused on a topic they are dedicated to, or passionate about. Additionally, domain experts from worldwide have contributed problem statements that contestants can select.

A few examples include identify granular concepts that interlink multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals; and understand patterns of diagnosis and treatment that point to potential off-label usage of drugs.

The global virtual challenge is open to tech professionals, data scientists, engineers, university students, and researchers interested in discovering what is possible with graph and AI.
