MachineLearnAthon

The MachineLearnAthon is an Erasmus+ funded education research project which seeks to  introduce a new teaching format centered around machine learning competitions. Rather than starting with theory and only later moving to implementation, we use ML challenges as a roadmap for teaching: Given a real world prediction task, we create the material required to tackle it and present it to students in the form of 10-minute micro-lectures and tool introduction units. Students, working in international and inter-disciplinary teams can use the challenge data to directly apply the acquired knowledge to solve the posed challenge whenever and however they see fit.
