Connectionists: IEEE CIS Technical Challenge with US$20, 000 of prize money to grab

[Hussein Abbass]

The IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (IEEE CIS) is very pleased to announce its first Technical Challenge.

The challenge is hosted by Kaggle at https://www.kaggle.com/c/ieee-fraud-detection

The dataset is donated to the challenge by the world's leading payment service company, Vesta Corporation.

In addition to US$20,000 of prize money to grab, the challenge attracted 300+ entries in its first 24 hour with more teams joining constantly.

For the first time, the challenge permits the use of automated machine learning tool(s) (AMLT) in the creation of Submissions. However, AMLT Teams (as defined in the Rules) are not eligible to win any prizes.

Bring your machine learning skills, and your best classification algorithm to give it a go and win one of the three cash prizes.

IEEE CIS invites its members and any data scientist to submit entries to the first IEEE CIS Technical Challenge.
