2nd Data Set Challenge delayed release

The 2nd data set and challenge will not be released until a week or so after the first challenge data release.

The reason for this is so as not to cause confusion in your teams deciding which one to do. We recommend you start the first as a team and maybe then do the 2nd as an individual side project.

What we can reveal is that

  • the two data sets and challenges are completely unrelated
  • the as yet to be revealed data and challenge is a Kaggle style problem. You have to generate some numbers which can then be objectively assessed
  • you will need coding skills and the ability to think logically, but not necessarily any machine learning experience
  • it is a real problem and there could be a significant reward for the best performing solution
