Not exactly timely; the competition started in September 2009. There are well-known algorithms for mining association rules; see, e.g., http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~klefevre/eecs584/Papers/agrawal_1... .


Yea, I always find out about these things a bit late. Too bad. Probably getting something together by March is nearly impossible.


Only for US Americans: "The Competition is open to data analysis experts (“Participants”) from the fifty (50) United States (“U.S.”) and District of Columbia (“D.C.”)" http://competition-files.s3.amazonaws.com/OMOP_Cup_Competiti...


NetFlix offers what .. a million dollars for their data mining contest, and their revenue is in the millions.

Something doesn't seem right.
