NYC BigApps is an annual competition sponsored by the New York City Economic Development Corporation.It provides programmers, developers, designers, and entrepreneurs with access to municipal data sets to build technological products that address civic issues affecting New York City.
The M2-Competition was organized in collaboration with four companies and included six macroeconomic series, and was conducted on a real-time basis. Data was from the United States. [1] The results of the competition were published in a 1993 paper. [6] The results were claimed to be statistically identical to those of the M-Competition. [1]
The goal of the Hutter Prize is to encourage research in artificial intelligence (AI). The organizers believe that text compression and AI are equivalent problems. Hutter proved that the optimal behavior of a goal-seeking agent in an unknown but computable environment is to guess at each step that the environment is probably controlled by one of the shortest programs consistent with all ...
The Pittsburgh Brain Activity Interpretation Competition [11] will reward analysis of fMRI data "to predict what individuals perceive and how they act and feel in a novel Virtual Reality world involving searching for and collecting objects, interpreting changing instructions, and avoiding a threatening dog." The prize in 2007 was $22,000.
The International Bebras Challenge on Informatics is an annual computer science competition for primary and secondary school students around the world. With 87 member countries and more than 2.5 million participating students in 2024, the competition is the largest computer science competition in the world.
Research has been completed on how competition can improve research performance. Companies like JPMorgan Chase also run internal contests involving large numbers of employees. [2] Examples of data science competition platforms include Bitgrit, [3] Correlation One, Kaggle, InnoCentive, Microprediction, [4] AIcrowd, [5] and Alibaba Tianchi. [6]
Researchers at a leadership development and training firm, analyzing data from their survey of more than 7,000 leaders, found that women outperformed men on 12 of 16 measures of outstanding leadership competencies and scored the same as men in the other four. These women and men were rated by managers, peers, direct reports and others. While women
Work on Machine learning shifts from a knowledge-driven approach to a data-driven approach. Scientists begin creating programs for computers to analyze large amounts of data and draw conclusions – or "learn" – from the results. [2] Support-vector machines (SVMs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) become popular. [3]
