Norvig Web Data Science Award

show what you can do with 3 billion web pages
by SURFsara and CommonCrawl

Your Github project page is private (courtesy of our sponsors Github.com!). Access is restricted to you, your team (if you have one) and the jury. The project page comes with a wiki. You should use your Github project’s wiki page as your reporting tool. There are no rules on what you should report on, but your report should exist of no more than 2000 (two thousand) words. An example structure could be:

  • Idea: A introduction to your idea
  • Method: How have you performed your experiments
  • Results: Describe your results
  • Discussion: How should we interpret your results

You are encouraged, but not required, to use your Github code repository for your code. Likewise we encourage you to package and share your code with your textual description of you results. For example, tar or zip your code, upload it (to your Github repo, to Dropbox, or somewhere else), and link to it from your Github wiki. You don’t need to include your code, but you should realize that in a scientific setting, your results must be reproducible.

The deadline for the 2014 Norvig Web Data Science Award is 11:59pm, August 31, 2014. At that moment your access rights will change to read-only, and you will no longer be able to make changes to neither your code, nor your wiki.
