About Data Science Student Championship
In the opening round, participants will have to dig deep into the dataset, dissect it, and devise ingenious solutions. They will submit their solutions through the MachineHack platform.
Fast forward to April, the cream of the crop, the top 10 contenders from the leaderboard, will assemble for the Jury Round. During the Final Jury Round, they will lay out their high-stakes final solutions before a panel of experts and leaders from the data science industry.
The top three contestants/teams with the slickest solutions will be announced winners of the Data Science Student Championship 2024 and receive cash awards along with the prestigious title of ‘Data Science Student Champion 2024’.
The contenders who make it to the jury round won’t walk away empty-handed, either. They will receive certificates of commendation, propping up their exceptional work and dedication to data science.
Problem Statement
Develop a language model that surpasses existing methods in accurately and efficiently classifying patents. This model should:
- Leverage cutting-edge NLP techniques: Employ techniques like transformer models, named entity recognition, and relation extraction to understand the nuances of patent text and capture key technical aspects.
- Handle diverse content: Accurately classify patents across various domains and technical fields, even those with limited training data or unconventional language styles.
- Reason and adapt: Go beyond mere keyword matching and learn to reason about the relationships between concepts and technical elements within patents to achieve improved classification accuracy.
Data Dictionary:
- Abstract (35k rows): A summary of the patent.
- Label (9 classes): The patent classification according to the European Patent Office (EPO) classification scheme. (Physics, Human Necessities, Electricity, Chemistry, Metallurgy, etc).
Evaluation & Prizes
The submissions will be assessed based on the Accuracy metric, ensuring a fair evaluation process.
A total of ₹50,000 is up for grabs, and the top 3 winners are going snag a piece of it, like this:
- First place: ₹25,000
- Second place: ₹15,000
- Third place: ₹10,000
To ensure your eligibility for the prizes, it is essential that you keep your MachineHack profile updated with all the relevant details. We strongly recommend reviewing the ‘Rules’ section before participating in the competition.
Please note that the prize money will be awarded to participants only if they are selected by Analytics India Magazine and Praxis Tech School in the hackathon.
