ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

Join BEST Timișoara for a two-day technical event designed to bring together machine learning enthusiasts and challenge them to collaborate, learn, and put their skills to the test. Taking place on June 5th and 6th, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, sharpen your technical abilities, and dive into real-world ML problem-solving.

The event kicks off on June 5th with a hands-on workshop aimed at building a foundational understanding of the challenge ahead. On June 6th, another pre-competition workshop will help participants solidify their approach before diving into the main event — the machine learning competition itself.

Participants are welcome to compete solo if they are unable to find a team, or they can form teams of up to four people. Whether you're joining alone or with a group, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate, learn, and showcase your skills.

Whether you're looking to learn, collaborate, or compete, this event is the perfect setting to grow your skills and engage with the ML community.

Requirements

GET STARTED

To ensure participants are well-prepared, we’ll be sharing the theme for the competition one day before the event, on June 4th. Along with the theme, you'll receive an overview of the problem statement, providing you with key insights into the challenge ahead.

Additionally, we will provide a GitHub link to the student resources that will assist you in tackling the chosen problem statement. These resources are designed to help you better understand the problem, offering tools, code samples, and documentation that will support your work during the event.

Make sure to review all materials carefully so you’re ready to dive into the competition with confidence!
