Competition

Data Mining around the world ...

Each year national and international educational institutions from over 20 countries take part in the DATA-MINING-CUP (DMC) competition.

With this student competition that takes place in spring each year, prudsys AG, one of the leading data mining companies, wants to enthuse domestic and international students for intelligent data analysis (data mining) and challenge them to find the best solution to a data mining problem in competition with others.
The DMC is a team competition. Each educational institution (university, technical university, vocational university etc.) can have two teams (refer to participation conditions for more information).

Details of the task will be published on April 3, 2013. 

The challenge ...

2013 we want to follow on last year and will place two competition parts again. This year both parts are focussed on the prediction of orders in online shops.
Besides a classic Data Mining task the second part includes a dynamic Data Mining problem, which can be solved by creating an agent. The tasks are assessed independently of each other.

Two tasks - different problems and thus an increased degree of difficulty are the challenge for the DATA MINING CUP Competition 2013. We are looking forward to your ideas!

The reward ...

The best teams will get attractive prizes:

Task 1
1st place:  EUR 2,000.00
2nd place: EUR 1,000.00
3rd place:  EUR    500.00

Task 2
robot kit Lego Mindstorms for the first place

prudsys will announce the the best up-and-coming data miners during its User Days on July 2, 2013 (Berlin/Germany). The best teams will receive an invitation in advance and will present their suggested solution in a short presentation slot.
