Data Challenge Championship End: 2023 Leaderboard & Awards
Our team behind Ocean Data Challenges concentrates on Data Science and is 1 of 3 concentration verticals (teams) within the Ocean Protocol core team. We are responsible for the Data Challenge Program, all related processes tied to the program & adjacent initiatives. We are excited to announce the winners of our 2023 Data Challenge Championship and end-of-season rewards! After a year of hypothesis testing, research sprints and over 20 different data challenges, hackathons, and data science experimentation: the top 10 data challenge participants, ranked by leaderboard points have emerged victorious.
2023 Season Highlights:
- 17 Unique data science competitions hosted on Web3 rails.
- The top 10 participants were awarded $10 (USDC / OCEAN) per 1 point that compounded to secure their top 10 seats.
- Each of the 17 challenges offered rewards between $4000-$6500, PLUS championship leaderboard points for each of the top submissions.
-175 data scientists (& growing) competing for prizes and owning their IP in all submissions.
- Unique solutions proposed by participants spread across predictive analytics, business applications, data engineering pipelines, quantitative and statistical modeling, and real-world impact pertinent to each subject cycle.
2023 was the second year of Ocean-sponsored Data Challenges and the first year of the leaderboard & championship season (1/23–12/23). 2024 introduces Season 2 of the leaderboard and the 3rd year of the program.
‘Data Challenges’ are Kaggle-style data science competitions, tuned to hypothesis testing and experimentation leveraging data science and engineering methods, artificial intelligence, web3 tools, and Ocean Technology in real-world and business application examples.
All active, in-review, and completed Ocean Data Challenges are hosted and conducted on the Ocean Ecosystem Platform for data science competitions, Desights.ai. Desights is a web3 platform to crowdsource solutions to the toughest AI & ML challenges.
