WIN, the hackathon!
A call to the Web Data community to help us improve Official Statistics
The Web Intelligence Network (WIN) has been developing ways to identify E-commerce and Social Media use from publicly available web data. We offer you a unique opportunity to contribute to this cutting-edge field and create new ways to work with web data from online business enterprise characteristics (OBEC). You can sign up with a team if you want to join in and have some data science skills. Teams can have as many members as you like. You can use your own coding environment. You and your team need to come up with ideas and passion.
In this collaborative challenge, teams must develop open-source software to automatically derive E-Commerce and Social Media activity on a set of company websites from four countries. The results will be evaluated against a manually labelled subset of data. This is a great opportunity to showcase your skills and contribute to the community.
