Telegram Contests

The Telegram contest for JavaScript developers is starting today.

Prize fund of the first stage: $80,000+.
Prize fund of all 3 stages: $200,000+.
Dates: Nov 3 - Nov 17 (23:50 Dubai time).

The goal is create a simplified web version of Telegram without using third-party UI frameworks. The app should include login/signup flows and allow viewing chat and message lists. The design implementation should be identical to the mockups attached below.

You are welcome to view the API docs and inspect the source code of existing Telegram apps to get an idea of where to start. The main criteria for us to identify the winners will be the speed, size and attention to detail of their apps. Implementation of additional screens from the mockups (e.g. message creation, media viewer, shared media, settings etc) will be counted as bonus points. Apps without basic functionality (i.e. login/signup and chat/message lists) will not be awarded. All the paths in the scripts should be relative.

For avoidance of doubt, using UI frameworks such as React and Angular is not allowed. Using data frameworks such as tdlib is possible in theory, but is likely to result in unacceptable increase in loading times compared to plain JS solutions.

The authors of the best apps will share the $80,000+ prize fund and will be able to take part in stage 2.

We will publish the instruction on how to submit the apps soon. Good luck!

The Telegram Data Clustering Contest starts now.

Based on the input data we provide, you are expected to develop an algorithm that:

1. Identifies content in English and Russian and discards the rest.
2. Identifies news articles from the result of (1) and discards the rest.
3. Classifies each news piece from the result of (2) into one of these 7 categories: Society, Economy, Technology, Entertainment, Science, Sports and Other.
4. Identifies news pieces about the same event and groups them together into news threads.
5. Sorts news threads based on perceived importance.

Below is the sample input data. We will be publishing more sample data sets as the contest progresses. Check out the detailed description of the contest task here (and here in Russian).

Participants have two weeks until December, 2 (the deadline is 23:50 Dubai time) to come up with a solution and upload it to @jobs_bot.

The authors of the best solutions will share a prize fund of $100,000 and will be able to take part in the second stage of the contest, getting a chance to claim another $100,000 in prizes.
