UMassD Big Data Club
Every year, Big Data Club competes at Datafest, a data analysis competition sponsored by the American Statistical Association. Our team has won Best Data Visualization for the past three years! In addition, last year, we also took home second place for the Best Insight category as well.
In this challenge, participants built bots to compete in a 4-player resource collection game. Can you write algorithms to implement different strategies and collect the most halite?
In this Kaggle Challenge run by Professor Bharatendra Rai at UMass Dartmouth, participants competed to build a system to predict whether a consumer will purchase an item while shopping online. Members explored different solutions to the imbalanced class problem while training machine learning algorithms.
At the Brown Datathon, we took home second place in the Citizens Bank Homebuyer Challenge by using a graph neural net to predict the number of home purchases in a given area.
