The Rising Stars Data Contest aims to provide attendees with the opportunity to apply their Big Data Analysis, Data Science and Machine Learning Skills on a real world dataset and present their findings to judges and attendees at the conference. Participants will get access to a real world dataset from the IEEE DataPort dataset repository to work with and draw conclusions. Individuals or teams participating will then prepare a presentation for the showcase where they present their analysis as they would be to relevant stakeholders.
