FedCSIS 2022 Challenge: Predicting the Costs of Forwarding Contracts

https://knowledgepit.ai/fedcsis-2022-challenge/


DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING PREDICTIONS: May 27, 2022


ORGANIZERS: Polish Information Processing Society in association with 
the FedCSIS Conference (fedcsis.org)and QED Software (qed.pl)

THE COMPETITION: This year's data mining challenge revolves around 
predicting the costs related to the execution of forwarding contracts. 
Prepared data sets contain 6 years of orders history and details such as 
the type of contract, basic characteristics of the shipped goods (e.g., 
dimensions, special requirements), and the expected route that a driver 
will have to cover.


THE TASK: To develop a predictive model assessing the actual costs of 
individual contractS as accurately as possible.

organizing contests in the field of data science. It gives students and
