Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, Delhi-NCR launches Analytics Olympiad 2022 for Data science professionals

The Academy of Continuing Education at Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence Delhi-NCR, in partnership with MachineHack, is launching the second edition of its annual Analytics Olympiad, from 30th September 2022, to 6th November 2022, for data scientists and machine learning professionals.

This two-month-long championship has been primarily designed to strengthen the data science community in India and pave the way for innovation. This challenge is the perfect opportunity for data science enthusiasts, learners and professionals in India to showcase their skills and leadership potential in business analytics and advance their careers. 

Problem statement and description

The vehicle insurance business is a multi-billion dollar industry. Every year millions and millions are paid in premiums, and a huge amount of claims pile up.

At the Analytics Olympiad 2022, the data science and machine learning community would step into the shoes of a data scientist and create an ML model that would help an insurance company understand which insurance claims should be accepted for reimbursement and which must be rejected.

The participants would be given a rich dataset consisting of thousands of rows of past records to learn more about customers’ behaviours.

Dataset Description:

Columns: ['ID', 'AGE', 'GENDER', 'DRIVING_EXPERIENCE', 'EDUCATION', 'INCOME',

                   'CREDIT_SCORE', 'VEHICLE_OWNERSHIP', 'VEHICLE_YEAR', 'MARRIED',

                  'CHILDREN', 'POSTAL_CODE', 'ANNUAL_MILEAGE', 'SPEEDING_VIOLATIONS',

                  'DUIS', 'PAST_ACCIDENTS', 'OUTCOME', 'TYPE_OF_VEHICLE']

Learn and predict the OUTCOME variable.
