The task of this competition is to predict the relevance scores of product search results on
[homedepot.com](https://www.homedepot.com/c/homepageregional1?s_tnt=114337:1:0)
.  Specifically, you predict a relevance score for a given product_title-search_term pair.  For example,
Product title: “Plastec 11 in. x 24 in. Rose Garden Wall Decor Steel”
Search term: “zen garden  decor”
Relevance: 3
The data set contains a number of products (with titles, which are short descriptions) and real customer search queries from Home Depot's website.  There is another file that contains long descriptions of the products.  The challenge is to predict a relevance score for the provided combinations of search terms and products.  Home Depot had crowdsourced the search/product pairs to multiple human raters to create the ground truth labels.
The competition closes on 3/17 (Sun) 6:59 pm Chicago time (which is 11:59 pm UTC/GMT).
