The first-ever Data Science Hack event at K-State, “Data Science for Social Good,” is Friday-Sunday, Nov. 11-13, at the Engineering Building on the Manhattan campus. The deadline for registering will be 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 5, 2016. The event is free.
Co-sponsored by ACM SIGAI (Association of Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence) and Hack K-State, this interdisciplinary event will bring together graduate and undergraduate students from a variety of fields: engineering, business, statistics, math, design, and others.
Datasets which relate to social challenges will be made available at the event. Code written during this event will be released through open-source licensure under general public licensing.
Teams may include 3-4 members. Teams will be expected to give a brief presentation on their work, and results will be announced on the third day of the event. Winners will be judged based on the evaluation matrix by event judges. Prize distributions will follow thereafter.
