What is IDAO anyway?

International Data Analysis Olympiad is a contest organized by HSE University and Yandex for the 5th time. 

The event aims to bridge the gap between the all-increasing complexity of Machine Learning models and performance bottlenecks of the industry. The participants will strive not only to maximize the quality of their predictions but also to devise resource-efficient algorithms.

This will be a team machine learning competition, divided into two stages. The first stage will be online, open to all participants. The second stage will be the Online finals, in which the top 30 teams from the First Stage's Student Division will compete.
