The Buffalo State University IEEE Student Branch will be hosting a General Interest Meeting. Are you interested in technology? Willing to tinker and learn new things? Come see what IEEE has to offer and help shape the future of the club! Room: 148, Bldg: Technology, 1300 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo, New York, United States, 14222
On March 17, we will be launching our IEEE internal coding competition on Kaggle. This competition focuses on binary classification using a bank churn dataset. Here are the details: Link to Competition site: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/binary-classification-w-bank-churn-dataset-shu/overview Competition Overview: - Objective: Predict whether a customer will continue with their bank account or close it (i.e., churn). For each id in the test set, you must predict the probability for the target variable Exited. - Dataset: The dataset includes various features such as customer credit score, age, tenure, balance, number of products, and more. There is a train.csv file which should be used to train your model, and a test.csv file which should be used to test your model's performance. - Dates: March 17, 2025 - March 31, 2025. All final submissions must be turned in before midnight on March 31. - Submissions: Each participant can make up to 5 submissions per day. There is a submission format that must be followed (please see the sample_submission.csv file on the Kaggle site linked above). Submissions are evaluated on area under the ROC curve between the predicted probability and the observed target. - Prizes: There will be Seton Hall University merchandise (mugs and pens) awarded as prizes to the top 3 scorers in the competition. How to Join: - Click on the link listed above. - Click on the "Join Competition" button on the competition page. - Follow the instructions to accept the rules and join the competition. How to Make Submissions: - Prepare your model and generate predictions based on the provided dataset. This should ultimately generate a CSV file formatted like the sample_submission.csv file on the Kaggle site. - Navigate to the Submissions tab on the competition page and click on "Submit Prediction". - Upload your submission file and click "Submit". We encourage all members to participate and showcase their skills. This is a great opportunity to learn, compete, and have fun! Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/471471
