INFORMS Data Mining Competition goal is to predict stock price movements (over 60 minutes) at five minute intervals with accurate predictive analysis solutions.

Visit the INFORMS Data Mining Contest web page for more details: kaggle.com/informs2010

Competitors are provided with intraday trading data showing stock price movements at five minute intervals, sectoral data, economic data, experts' predictions and indexes.

We have provided a training database to allow participants to build their predictive models. Participants will be evaluated according to the arithmetic mean of the AUC on the test database.

Being able to better predict short-term stock price movements would be a boon for high-frequency traders, so the methods developed in this contest could have a big impact on the finance industry.

The winners of this contest will be honored at a session during INFORMS Annual Meeting in Austin-Texas (November 7-10).
