随着移动定位服务的流行，阿里巴巴和蚂蚁金服逐渐积累了来自用户和商家的海量线上线下交易数据。蚂蚁金服的O2O平台“口碑”用这些数据为商家提供了包括交易统计，销售分析和销售建议等定制的后端商业智能服务。举例来说，口碑致力于为每个商家提供销售预测。基于预测结果，商家可以优化运营，降低成本，并改善用户体验。
2017年阿里云天池平台联合IJCAI举办“口碑商家客流量预测”大赛。
此次比赛以口碑业务的销售分析和销售建议等定制的后端商业智能服务为背景。 我们以恰当定义的销售预测问题为题。我们鼓励创新的解法，帮助口碑成为更加智能的商业平台，更好地服务社会。同时，希望每位参赛选手都能享受到这次比赛带来的乐趣。
