We invite ML students and specialists from all over the world to take part in the International Data Analysis Olympiad. HSE University and Yandex are organizing it for the 5th time, and the Otkritie bank will be our platinum partner this year.

Since it’s our first anniversary, we decided to change the format: students and ML specialists are divided into two separate divisions. Only students are able to join the main competition — the Student Division. All others can join the Open Division to participate hors concours (for their own interest).

Traditionally, the first stage’s task will be given by the Laboratory of Methods for Big Data Analysis (LAMBDA, HSE University). It will be about predicting the properties of two-dimensional crystals of various configurations. The task for the Finals will be provided by the Otkritie bank. The Olympiad includes two stages:

Online Stage (1-28 February 2022):

• Track 1: Traditional machine learning competition on Yandex.Contest platform. You will need to make new predictions and upload them to the automatic verification system.

• Track 2: Come up with a solution for the same problem, keeping within a rigid framework of time and memory used.

Final (16-17 April 2022, Moscow):

• top 30 teams according to the Online Stage results will be invited to the Online final.

• In the final 36 hours of the competition, participants will try not just to train the model, but to create a full-fledged prototype, which will be tested both in terms of accuracy and performance.

Registration is open till February 13: https://idao.world/
