DrivenData has issued a challenge to data scientists everywhere: can you help a computer determine a bee's genus? Using photos from the BeeSpotter database, participants will try to build the best algorithm that can reliably distinguish between honey and bumble bees.
To learn more about the challenge, visit their Naive Bees Classifier page. The data science course provider Metis is providing $5,000 in prize money for the top 3 competitors, so if you have a background in data science and/or programming, you may want to check it out!
