On June 5, the best projects were defended within the hackathon “Marathon of Digital Solutions” on the case of forecasting and assessing lost sales. The first place was taken by the combined team Faculty of Computer Science HSE and the University of Science and Technology MISIS, consisting of six students.
Hackathon participants could choose a case of easy, medium or difficult level. The peculiarity of the MCR was the focus on implementing solutions in practice.
The winners of the KUDO track for forecasting and evaluating lost sales were the MISIS x HSE Microgit team, which included:
Artem Sokolov, 2nd year bachelor’s student “Software Engineering” HSE Faculty of Computer Science;
Vladislav Eliseev, 2nd year bachelor’s degree “Applied Mathematics and Computer Science” HSE Faculty of Computer Science;
Tatyana Zavarykina, 1st year student at MISIS;
Dmitry Kaykov, 2nd year student at MISIS;
Rodion Naumov, 2nd year student at MISiS;
Khabibullin Adil, 2nd year MISIS.
As a solution, the students presented a web platform that helps managers forecast sales. Forecasts are made by DeepAR and ChronosZeroShot machine learning models with an accuracy of up to 97%.

“We had a case from KUDO, we needed to develop a test version of a platform for demand forecasting, as well as create a product recommendation system for customers based on their behavior.
We decided to participate in the hackathon rather impulsively. This is not our first time participating in such competitions, so we already have a rough idea of what and who to take on. We prepared: we studied the reports of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, talked to businessmen and collected a lot of different data on the topic, which definitely helped us get closer to victory.
Despite the fact that there were only a few of us, we were able to beat teams of IT specialists from 15–20 people and win.”
