What is a Datathon?
This is a 24 hour long event where a dataset will be presented on the start of the event. It will be accessible to both beginners and experienced participants. We release a series of resources to help you get started with the algorithms and dataset. By the end of the event, your team will produce sales forecast and an explanation behind the model(s) you used. The top 5 teams will have the chance to present to the Advance Auto Parts leadership team. For team member requirements and other datathon rules, please visit here.
