The Predictive Analytics Hack-A-Thon is back. Now conducted as a stand-alone event, this four-hour virtual competition offers you the chance to demonstrate your machine learning expertise through a friendly, hands-on competition.
Open to all skill levels, this year’s Hack-A-Thon will consist of two competitions: beginner and expert. The beginner competition reinforces the concepts and techniques presented at the Practical Predictive Analytics Seminar. Because this competition will have two skill levels, beginner and expert, please disregard the third option of intermediate when registering.
The expert competition will require contestants to determine the best model and features. All competitors will have four hours to develop a model and submit their predictions. You can participate on an individual or team basis – with no more than five people on a team. Both groups will use the same publicly available data to predict the outcome. The person or team with the best prediction will win the competition.
