In collaboration with MachineHack, IIT Gandhinagar (IITGN) presents two exciting hackathons. ML Decode and Data Sage have been designed to challenge knowledge, enhance problem-solving skills, and push the boundaries of technical abilities.
IIT Gandhinagar is a centre for cutting-edge research, which fosters interdisciplinary collaborations to tackle key challenges across science, technology, design and society. By partnering with leading global institutions and industries, the institute is driving innovation in areas such as energy, healthcare, AI, sustainability, and materials science.
With world-class research facilities, a strong emphasis on translational impact, and a flexible academic structure, the institute provides an environment that supports innovation, industry collaboration, and international research engagement.
The hackathon tests practical data science skills, including statistics, probability, data visualisation, and decision-making. Key topics include central tendency, outliers, skewness, basic probability, interpreting charts, A/B testing, and evaluation metrics like precision and recall.
Success depends on your ability to understand data in real-world contexts—think visually, spot patterns, and make informed decisions based on the insights gained.
