KDD Cup 2018 Call for Participants ========= Air pollution is affecting our life every day. For many large cities, it had become a severe problem that worsened progressively in the past few years. This year’s KDD Cup, titled KDD Cup of Fresh Air, solicits machine learning solutions to accurately forecast air quality indices (AQIs) of the future 48 hours. Accurate predictions of AQIs can bring enormous value to governments, enterprises, and the general public - and help them make informed decisions.
The KDD Cup participants are asked to forecast the AQIs of Beijing, China and London, UK. KDD Cup of Fresh Air was launched on March 15th, and since then over 850 teams have registered for the competition. The competition ends on May 31st. The deadline of registering a new team, joining an existing team, or merging existing teams is May 7th. The top three winners will be awarded a $10000, $5000, and $3000 prize, respectively. The 4th – 10th teams will receive $500 each. The top 10 teams will be invited to present their solutions at the KDD Cup Workshop held on August 21st in London, during the KDD-2018 conference. More details on the competition can be found at https://biendata.com/competition/kdd_2018. It is a great opportunity for you to contribute your expertise in data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to the social good, win valuable prizes, and travel to beautiful London!
