About the Competition


  The Artificial Intelligence-Supported Address Resolution Hackathon Competition, organized as part of TEKNOFEST 2025, is a two-stage competition held in collaboration with Hepsiburada.



It is a Hackathon organized by Hepsiburada on the theme of “Address Matching/Resolution” to address data inconsistencies and address management issues encountered in last-mile delivery operations. The aim of this event is to produce innovative solutions to this complex and technical problem using technologies such as artificial intelligence, natural language processing (NLP), geographic information systems (GIS), and data mining.

Stages:

Preliminary Selection Stage: The primary objective of this stage is to evaluate initial applications and select technically competent teams focused on problem identification that are suitable for participating in the main hackathon event.

Hackathon (Physical) Stage: In this stage, selected teams will develop a functional solution using the provided real-world address dataset. The goal is to create a system that meets the technical objectives of the competition and can be evaluated by the jury.

Application Requirements:

Students enrolled in associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs, as well as recent graduates within one year of graduation, are eligible to apply. Teams must consist of at least 2 and no more than 4 members (this number does not include advisors).
