NASA Robotic Mining Competition

Cybertech Robotic Competition

Cybertech is a robotic competition organized yearly by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) in which undergraduate students design and build mobile robots that can compete in different events. Students from UPM can follow a related course in which they learn how to build a robot. Marks obtained in the course depend partially on the results obtained in the competition. The characteristic ...

A robotic system for underground coal mining

Report for PAKDD 2006 Data Mining Competition

The task requires that a classifier model can give high prediction accuracy over 3G customer, while keeping reasonable misclassification rate for 2G customer. In this report, we firstly learn a classification model with high AUC(The area under the ROC curve) based on our latest research result in classification algorithm, and then find a optimal decision threshold from the resulting ROC(Receive...

GfKl Data Mining Competition 2005: Predicting Liquidity Crises of Companies

Data preprocessing and a careful selection of the training and classification method are key steps for building a predictive model with high performance. Here, we present the approach used for training and classification in our solutions submitted to the 2005 GfKl Data Mining Competition. The initial step of data preprocessing is described in the first part of this work. The task to be solved f...

Co-operation through Hierarchical Competition in Genetic Data Mining

Data mining is the automatic search for interesting and useful correlations within large databases. It lays particular emphasis on discovering patterns that are hard or impossible to detect using standard query mechanisms and classical statistical techniques. This paper describes a formulation of data mining as a well-defined search problem and shows how a hierarchical implementation of a genet...
