About the challenge
Experience CxC - Powered by Federato, Canada's largest student run data hackathon. We are a beginner-friendly datathon that bring together students and companies to build projects that solve real-world problems.
Requirements
What to Submit
Make sure all Team Members have created DevPost profiles and have been listed as part of the submission.
Your goal is to train and fit models that best predict the required labels. For your submissions to be considered, please upload your final project to the CxC DevPost, with
- Project Files
- Please refer to this Example GitHub Repository for Project Files Submission Details. You should be submitting all Project Files in a repository (one per team) with the same structure as the Example Repository, with each challenge having their own Challenge Submission Folder in the repository. Each Challenge Submission Folder should have their own code files as well as a .zip file containing the required submission requirements.
- Each challenge has a different requirement for submission, but generally could include a well-documented notebook, a submission.csv file or a report.
- Outline of your project, including technologies used, challenges faced, and of course the overall outcomes. This should be submitted as part of your DevPost submission in the description of your project
- Judging Submission Form. This is quick form to indicate which challenges are submitting for, and whether you would like to pitch in-person or virtually. This will be sent out before projects are due
Each dataset has a different metric that we will be evaluating on, more details will be shared once the datasets are released. You may pick more than one dataset/challenge to work on.
Only one submission per team per challenge is required (your team can submit to multiple challenges and be eligible for multiple prizes however).
All submissions are due on Monday, February 24th @ 11:00AM. You may continue to work on your pitch after that. However, any modifications made to any code or files in your team's Submission Repository AFTER the deadline will disqualify and void your team from the competition.
