Problem Statement & Description Customers looking to buy a new car expect an optimum ROI depending upon their price range. However, the sheer variety of cars with differentiated capabilities and features such as model, make, mileage, production year, category, fuel type, engine volume, colour, and accessories, makes it challenging for buyers to make an informed decision. To that end, MachineHack, in association with TheMathCompany, calls the data science community to develop a machine learning model for forecasting the price of a car within a budget with the best features available. To solve the car price problem, MachineHack has created a training dataset of 9237 rows with 18 columns, including the ‘Price’ column as the target variable, and a testing dataset of 8245 rows with 17 columns. The hackathon demands a few prerequisite skills such as multivariate regression, big dataset, underfitting vs overfitting, and the ability to optimize RMSE to generalize well on unseen data. Submission Guidelines The participants must submit a .csv/.xlsx file with exactly 8245 rows with one column (i.e. Price). The submission will return an ‘Invalid Score’ if any extra columns or rows are presented. Sklearn models support the predict() method to generate the predicted values. Evaluation Criteria The evaluation of the hackathon will be done using the RMSLE metric. One can use ‘np.sqrt(mean_squared_log_error(actual, predicted)’ to calculate the same. The hackathon will also support private and public leaderboards, where the public leaderboard will be evaluated on 70% of test data. On the other hand, the private leaderboard will be made available at the end of the hackathon and will be assessed on 100% of test data. ** Along with completing the challenge, participants also need to answer a Multiple-Choice Questionnaire to get shortlisted for an interview with TheMathCompany. The final score will represent the score achieved based on the ‘Best Score’ on the public leaderboard. Prizes TheMathCompany will select the top three (3) winners based on the given criteria. The prize money is for interested candidates willing to get interviewed/hired by TheMathcompany. First Prize: INR 40,000 Second Price: INR 20,000 Third Prize: INR 10,000 The hackathon will end on 19th July 2021. Click Here To Participate.
