ARMED with three years’ worth of data mining, machine learning (ML) and deep learning knowledge, a trio from Asia Pacific University of Technology & Innovation (APU) took part in a “datathon” and showed they have what it takes to solve practical problems through the application of data science tools and techniques.

Their capability won them the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Special Award at the RHB Get Your Hack On: Data Edition 2022, which was held in January and saw the participation of 15 shortlisted finalists out of 101 teams.
