The datathon is a weekend-long competition where you are challenged to solve real-world problems using machine learning, AI and data science techniques in groups of maximum 4 people. We'll present 3 challenges, and you'll have to choose one. Typically, you'll be asked to find solutions to specific problems using some datasets. Apart from this, there will be non-mandatory workshops and activities to get relaxed and meet new people!
The fourth edition of Datathon FME will take place on November 16 and 17.
Who?
Data enthusiasts currently enrolled at university or recent graduates are welcome!
