The solution to the case study of the final round of the Texata Big Data Championship 2017

Texata 2017 Finals Solution

This is the solution to the "stock market prediction" task, developed by Konstantin and presented at the final round of the Texata 2017 competition on November 19 in Austin, Texas.

The repository contains the following files:

• server_setup.sh documents the configuration of the cloud machine used during the contest.
• Texata 2017 - Beating the Stock Market (in 4 hours).ipynb is the Jupyter notebook, containing the Python code of the solution, as it was developed during the 4 hour competition period. The .html file with the same name is the same notebook exported to HTML for convenience.
• Presentation.pdf - the slides explaining the solution. These were also developed during the 4 hour competition time slot, and cleaned-up slightly after the contest for the award ceremony presentation.

This solution was awarded the second prize.
