Participant composition at Hearst Challenge

Here is the latest on Hearst Challenge. We are up to 400+ participants. An interesting question is whether a team from industry will take the title, or will academia prevail?

In terms of participation the split approximately is 85% non academic and 15% academic. The academic number might be somewhat underestimated  as those who have registered with their gmail/yahoo/hotmail type accounts have been tagged as  non academic.

In an interesting  development, NUIM is offering extra credit  to its students for  serious participation in the  competition.

Who will  win  it all?
