QuantQuest is a data science competition platform similar to Kaggle but for time series and financial problems.

We're currently hosting a competition where you have to use news articles to predict a price feature of 5 stock indexes.

Unlike most data science competitions, where the aim is to xgboost your light gbmboost, this competition is looking at the real-world applicable skill of feature engineering with text data. Participants will have to create features to extract semantic information to predict global events, such as war, financial crises, or even (near) pandemics.
