About BUILDATHON

Buildathon 2024 powered by PreProd Corp is an exclusive 2 days (1st & 2nd August 2024) live hackathon event designed for VIT Bhopal students.

The outcome of this event will be an AutoML user interface capable of automatically training, testing, validating, and delivering ready-to-use supervised AIML models for any dataset selected by the user. As a participant, you will learn to design, develop, deploy, tune, and maintain complex AIML pipelines within a limited timeframe. You'll also gain experience working in a live agile team, simulating real-world technology roles such as frontend developer, backend developer, data scientist, Python developer, and more.

Happy building !

PROBLEM STATEMENT

In a hypothetical scenario, PreProd Corp requires to design and deploy a freely available UI that can train AIML models using any dataset that qualifies certain conditions i.e. build an AutoML.

As a BUILDATHON participating team you are expected to build a frontend & backend that could allow the end user to input a dataset as csv or excel file. Perform basic cleansing on the data i.e. ensure the dataset provided should be compatible to be used to AIML model training. Use the data to train at least on 5 different popular AIML models. The AutoML tool should be able to provide the pickled file of the all or best performing trained AIML model to the user.

Overall product

Build a frontend - backend AutoML solution that can ingest any dataset ( supervised learning supported, having a maximum of 5000 rows and 10 columns ), designed AutoML should train AIML models in backend and output the pickled file for the trained models. The design should look modern and easy to use - navigate through. Please refer the AutoML wireframes

Input data

Dataset in CSV or XLSX or XLS format, should have predictor & predicted columns i.e. a supervised learning dataset, having a maximum of 5000 rows and 10 columns.

AIML models

AutoML should have any 5 or more of the following AIML algorithms:

  • SVM

  • Decision Tree

  • Bagging

  • Random Forest

  • ADA Boost

  • XG Boost

  • Stacking

  • Fully connected neural networks

AutoML should display the below performance metrics for each trained algorithm:

  • Accuracy

  • RMSE

AUTOML WIREFRAMES

You are expected to develop a clickable app using any technology as a front end for python based AIML model training on the backend. Please refer to the below wireframes as a reference to build your product which looks and performs similar to the below designed wireframes.

REWARDS & RECOGNITION

Top 3 winning teams will get an internship opportunity (no stipend) with PreProd Corp for the duration of 2 months where you will get experience to build data engineering, XAI and MLOps pipelines. All participants will receive a certificate of appreciation.

2 teams on special consideration from the hackathon evaluators, who were very close to complete the challenge but could not complete the challenge will be given an opportunity to obtain mentorship from our technology team to complete. All participants will receive a certificate of participation..

All the participants will be invited for 4 virtual sessions where our technology team will mentor and teach them to build an AutoML from scratch. All participants will receive a certificate of participation.
