Deadline calendar

How the beginner score works

  1. Difficulty (0-30): Devpost "Beginner Friendly" theme = 30, otherwise 18; minus 6 per specialist theme (Blockchain/Web3, AR/VR, IoT, hardware, security, DevOps...). Kaggle: Getting Started 30, Playground 26, Community 20, Featured 10, Research 6.
  2. Time (0-25): days left until the deadline x 25/21, capped at 25 (three weeks or more = full marks; rolling Kaggle learning comps = 25).
  3. Prize (0-15): 15 x log10(1 + cash in USD) / 5, capped at 15 ($100k = 15). Non-USD cash = 6, swag = 5, knowledge only = 0.
  4. Skills needed (0-30): hackathons start at 30, minus 6 per specialist theme and 2 per extra technical theme; Kaggle by data type: tabular 30, time series 22, text 20, images 18, agents/LLM 14, science 8.
