Capstone competition

For your capstone project, you will challenge your knowledge by developing and/or tuning a code base for a custom-designed machine learning competition modeled after the popular Black-Box Optimisation Challenge. You will practise the skills required for real-world model optimisations for a problem of your choice.

The competition takes place during the last 12 weeks of the programme, enabling you to see how tuning your code base improves optimisation on the competition’s leaderboard.

At the conclusion of the programme, you will have built a resume-boosting code base and amassed the skills needed to enter future competitions for prestige, cash prizes and career recognition.
