Big Data Olympiad

Due to coronavirus (COVID-19) and in consideration of the health and safety, we have decided to postpone the Co-located events.

Big Data Olympiad

In Conjunction with International Conference on Big Data, IoT and Machine Learning (BIM 2021)

September 23-25, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh

Call for Participation

Big data is a collection of huge data sets that normal computing techniques cannot process. While defining big data we consider several characteristics such as volume, velocity, variety, value, veracity, variability and visualization. At present big data plays a vital role in decision making by analyzing huge volume of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. Big data is an important component of fourth industrial revolution.

Big Data Olympiad aims to find talents those are interested to conduct their innovations and research with this important component of 4.0 IR. The Olympiad will be conducted in three different rounds and top-10 teams will be awarded with prize money and certificates. For better performance at the Olympiad, participants should have good knowledge about the tools and techniques of Big Data. Topics should be related but not limited to the following topics:

Data Collection
Data Preprocessing
Data Mining
