AusDM Analytic Challenge

AusDM, the Australian Data Mining Conference, is devoted to the art and science of intelligent data mining. AusDM2009 will be held at The University of Melbourne from the 1st-4th Dec.

It is planned to stage an analytics competition as part of this years conference and we invite you to submit entries in the competition.

A dataset will be available from 25 September and the competition will set a specific task (prediction, optimisation etc.) to be worked on over the following weeks. Results are then to be submitted and objectively measured in order to determine the winner.

There will be a session at the conference where the top placed entrants will be invited to present how they approached the problem. The competition will be open to anyone.

Competitions like this use real world data and have consistently shown to push the bounds of what data mining can achieve and stimulate new ideas, techniques, methods and research directions.

The datasets for the competition will be available by 25 September 2009. Stay tuned.
