Hello Colleagues, Imagine you're shopping for dinner at your favourite grocery store wearing AI glasses. You scan the shelves looking for the right ingredients. You ask, “Which of these pasta is gluten-free?”—and in seconds, your AI assistant provides an accurate answer, cross-referencing product labels and trusted sources. No guesswork. No misinformation. Just reliable, real-time knowledge at your fingertips. This is the potential of AI-powered wearable devices. But today’s Vision Large Language Models (VLLMs) still struggle with providing accuracy, context, and real-time information. That’s where you come in. The Meta CRAG-MM Challenge for KDD Cup 2025 is pushing the boundaries of multi-modal, multi-turn Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for wearable AI. Join the challenge to build AI that sees, understands, and retrieves knowledge—without hallucinating. Why This Challenge Matters Despite advances in AI, VLLMs still generate hallucinated answers—especially when handling long-tail knowledge, multi-step reasoning, or real-world images. The Meta CRAG-MM Benchmark introduces a rigorous test for multi-modal retrieval and reasoning, helping to ensure AI models can accurately process images, retrieve external information, and handle smooth, multi-turn conversations. What Makes CRAG-MM Unique? 🔍 Real-world wearable AI focus – Uses real-world images from Ray-Ban Meta glasses across 14 diverse domains 🤖 Multi-modal + Multi-turn challenge – Evaluate AI across single-turn and multi-turn question-answering 🧠 Complex question types – Tests reasoning, aggregation, and retrieval beyond simple fact lookup 💰 $33,000 in prizes – Compete for the grand prize and recognition at KDD Cup 2025.
