I learned a lot and created a two part blog series to document both the competition and my approach:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://crceanalytics.com/2022/04/07/machine-learning-for-snow-hydrology-a-competition/">Machine Learning for Snow Hydrology - A Competition</a></li> <li><a href="https://crceanalytics.com/2022/05/11/machine-learning-for-snow-hydrology-methods/">Machine Learning for Snow Hydrology - Methods</a></li> </ul> <p>I competed in the preliminary phase of the competition that didn’t include any prizes. The second phase involved predicting SWE in real time and included big prizes totaling $500,000. The competition ended in early summer, but the winners were just recently announced on the DrivenData Blog:</p>
