The results of the first round of the Data Clustering Contest | Telegram Info English

The results of the first round of the Data Clustering Contest have been announced.

Recall that the main task of this stage was to create a C / C++ library, which could determine the language affiliation and topics of Telegram channels based on the data provided.

The prizes were divided as follows:

— 2 first place winners will receive $9.000 each.
— 3 runners-up will receive $5,000 each.
— 4 contestants who took third place will receive $3,000 each.
— 3 contestants who took fourth place will receive $2,000 each.

In the judges' assessment, the exact sorting by category was more significant than the sorting by language. However, the overall speed of the algorithm influenced the final decision of the jury. For correcting mistakes and correcting the competition work, participants were fined.

Detailed information about the winners and their prizes can be viewed on the official Telegram contests channel.

The next round of the competition will be announced within two weeks. All participants of the first stage will be able to take part in the second round.
