Rating

Throughout the course we are maintaining a student rating. It takes into account credits scored in assignments and Kaggle competitions. Top students (according to the final rating) will be listed on a special Wiki page.

Community

Discussions between students are held in the #mlcourse_ai channel of the OpenDataScience Slack team. Fill in this form to get an invitation. The form will also ask you some personal questions, don't hesitate 👋
