COVID 19 Datathon @ IndoML 2021
IndoML is a pan-India symposium aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in Indian universities to participate in structured artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science tasks. In keeping with the central objective to involve students, IndoML 2021 has a new initiative -- a month-long Datathon -- aimed towards giving students exposure to machine learning through a problem-oriented approach.
This repository hosts one such data challenge at IndoML 2021 around COVID-19 data from India. The COVID-19 India Dataset is one of the most comprehensive datasets on the pandemic in India. It aggregates data from health bulletins published online daily by governments of major Indian states. This Datathon event challenges you to flex your brains on this dataset and come up with your own models for analysis, prediction, and insights on the evolution of the pandemic in India.
Unlike the other entries into the IndoML Datathon, this challenge is completely open-ended. This means that there is no specific task to solve. Instead, we want you to push your limits. However, if you do want some sample tasks you can get started with, we have some examples¸below.
- Join our Slack community and follow instructions pinned to the #indoml channel.
- Clone this repository and start exploring the COVID-19 India Dataset.
- Let your imagination run wild. 🤓
Your final submission will require two elements:
- A report documenting your efforts to be judged by our judges, and
- A GitHub (or equivalent) link to your code that generated the findings in the report. This could be either a link to a PR merged into this codebase or a standalone repository containing your code.
Winners at the end of the Datathon will be determined by our selection of judges. The Top 3 participants, as determined by our judges, will receive cash prizes with a combined worth of approximately 75,000 INR.
In addition, all major contributors will be invited to join the whitepaper on the COVID-19 India Dataset to include their findings, analysis, and models, to be submitted to the IJCAI-2022 Special Track on AI for Good.
To encourage participation from India, we require that your team must have one collaborator from India. Please make sure to read the terms and conditions before participating.
