DATA MINING CUP - international student competition in data mining

DATA MINING CUP 2018

Committed data mining youngsters are tomorrow’s experts

The DATA MINING CUP (DMC for short) has inspired students around the world to pursue intelligent data analysis since the year 2000. In 2017 more than 200 teams from 150 universities in 48 countries took part in the competition. The best teams were invited to Berlin for the awards ceremony at the personalization & pricing summit.

In spring 2018 we want to enthuse domestic and international students for intelligent data analysis and challenge them to find the best solution to a data mining problem in competition with others.

We are looking forward to your participation.
