Yandex is running an international programming championship with two English-language tracks: Machine Learning and Algorithms.
Each track has a $18,000 prize pool, and there will be a final in Istanbul for the top participants. The problems are apparently designed by Yandex engineers and based on real-world challenges.
Has anyone here tried it before? How do the problems compare to other competitions like Kaggle or Codeforces?
Not sure if this is standard for programming competitions, but I'm not a fan of this rule:
> During the qualification stage, the proctoring system must record the entire process of completing the problems. The recording must include video materials showing the participant, their computer screen, and the surrounding area.
> After completing the qualification stage, the participant must upload the recording to a convenient platform (for example, cloud storage or YouTube).
