Abstract
We outline current development of the Knowledge Pit platform (knowledgepit.fedcsis.org) aimed at organization of online data mining competitions. We summarize competitions held so far and planned for the nearest future. We discuss how assumptions about characteristics of complex classification problems and their modern solutions have affected the architecture of our platform, with respect to the size and dimensionality of considered data sets, comparative evaluation of submitted classifiers and their ensembles, as well as final utilization of the best submitted solutions in practice. As case studies, we investigate data-mining-related challenges emerging in our current research projects concerning risk management in coal mines and fire&rescue actions.
