What is a Data Hackathon?

It's a high-intensity, time-bound event where data scientists, developers, and analysts collaborate to extract meaningful insights, build predictive models, or prototype innovative data-driven solutions for a given problem statement and dataset. It is a marathon of hacking and development.

The 5-Step Process

01

Team Formation & Problem Understanding

Assemble a diverse team and rigorously study the challenge, defining the scope, goals, and success metrics.

02

Data Preparation & EDA

Clean, process, and explore the dataset. Handle missing values, correct inconsistencies, and engineer valuable features.

03

Model Building & Training

Select the best-fit ML/AI algorithm, train the initial model, and begin crucial hyperparameter tuning for performance.

04

Evaluation & Validation

Validate model accuracy using test data and iteration. Refine features, parameters, or algorithms to boost scores.

05

Submission & Pitch

Submit final predictions to the leaderboard and present the solution, methodology, and key business insights to judges.
