In the role of a service “provider”, your task is to design and train a suitable Deep Neural Network (DNN) and/or Gradient-Boosted Decision Trees (GBDT) model on a data set provided by us. It has to be done in such a way that an arbitrary end-user, “client”, can use this model for inference on his / her data such that the “provider” has no way to make sense of the “client’s” input data (i.e. must be encrypted / scrambled, etc.). We also value high data throughput and horizontal scalability.

Prize: reMarkable, Apple Airpods, Fitness band

These items should be presented in a chronological order and are expected to include text and images. The content should be reachable also by scanning a QR code on the “Wall” in the office. When it comes to our decision making about the winner - code quality is as important as interesting design :)
