It is the process of finding useful information from large amounts of structured and unstructured data. The goals of the competition are to promote education and gain practical knowledge in machine learning, statistics, econometrics and mathematics. Students are encouraged to think analytically and independently develop creative solutions to real problems. One of the main goals is to connect talented students with project partner companies, transfer knowledge and mentorship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">For students outside Zagreb, a recording of the Introductory Lecture will be published on our website.
