Yandex is running an international programming championship with two English-language tracks: Machine Learning and Algorithms.
Each track has a $18,000 prize pool, and there will be a final in Istanbul for the top participants. The problems are apparently designed by Yandex engineers and based on real-world challenges.
Has anyone here tried it before? How do the problems compare to other competitions like Kaggle or Codeforces?
- KurSix 1y agoProblems from engineers based on real challenges are more applied — less number theory, more modeling and data work, sounds interesting overall
- veunes 1y agoYeah, seems like a decent skills check since the focus is more on applying and maybe optimizing existing algorithms rather than inventing something totally new, also a few days in Istanbul could be a nice bonus
- KurSix 1y agoBasically looks like a test of handling imperfect conditions — feels closer to real work than a coding olympiad And Istanbul of course, not bad — a chance to travel a bit too
