Capstone Project: Real-World Black-Box Optimisation Challenge
Put your learning to the test in a high-stakes simulation modelled on real ML challenges used by top tech firms. You’ll work with a hidden black-box model and a pre-built PyTorch codebase to optimise outcomes through experimentation, smart parameter tuning, and strategy — just like real-world data scientists.
Interact with the model via a defined interface, apply techniques like grid search or Bayesian optimisation, and fine-tune key parameters to improve performance. You’ll test your solutions under consistent conditions, log results, and submit your final approach — with top entries getting showcased to peers.
Key Outcomes
Build and submit a working machine learning solution that optimises a hidden model’s output.
Apply advanced techniques like gradient-free optimisation and strategic parameter tuning to elevate performance.
Use Python-based templates to implement your approach, iterate, and refine your results for maximum impact.
