cSE 151B Competition

Introduction

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals in deep learning. Part of the learning will be through in-class lectures and take-home assignments, but you will really gain hands-on experience by participating Machine Learning Competitions.

Competition Format

You will participate in the competition via Kaggle in small groups, normally 1-4 people. The project contributes to 40% of the course credits:

5 % milestone report
10 % final report
10 % final presentation
10 % team ranking

In the end, you will write a 4 page report about your project.

Details

In this competition, you will develop deep learning models to predict the trip time of taxi rides in Porto, Portugal based on their (initial) partial trajectories.
