Source: Novosibirsk State University – Novosibirsk State University – From September 15 to 20, Astana hosted the 48th ICPC World Finals, a world championship in competitive programming. 142 teams from more than 111 countries took part in the competition, selected from 72,000 participants representing 103 countries and more than 3,000 universities. The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is an international student programming contest founded in the 1970s in the United States. The first international ICPC was held in 1977 in the United States, at the University of Michigan. Since then, the competition has been held annually in various countries, such as the United States, Russia, the Netherlands, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Japan, Sweden, Poland, Thailand, Morocco, Egypt, Bangladesh, and Portugal. The NSU team includes students Faculty of Information Technology: Sofia Lylova (4th year), Anton Mokrousov (2nd year postgraduate student), Artem Plyusnin (master’s graduate). The team solved six problems, sharing 20-50 places with such leading universities as ITMO, HSE, Stanford University, University of Cambridge and others. – The problem set turned out to be very interesting and balanced, our team solved six problems, and the winner of the championship only nine. Of all the problems, there was one that no team solved. As in previous years, the level of teams at the world championship is very high, it cannot be otherwise – the best university teams qualify. There is a lot of pressure – to compete with the strongest, especially with those who have already won medals in previous seasons of the championship. Our team took a long time to get to the world championship final and trained a lot. For example, the guys have repeatedly participated in training camps in Petrozavodsk, where the best teams of our region practice, and at the end of August they went there for in-person participation, – said Vladimir Isachenko, coach of the NSU team in sports programming, senior lecturer of the Department of Informatics Systems of the NSU FIT. In the final table, Peking University took first place, and MIPT took second place. MIPT’s team in algorithmic programming Yolki-Palki became the only one from Russia to climb the ICPC podium. MIPT overtook their strongest rivals from the University of Massachusetts and Xinhua University.
Saint Petersburg University took 22nd place, HSE University — 29th, ITMO University — 36th, MAI — 43rd, NSU — 45th, Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design — 92nd, and Skoltech — 102nd. — Despite the successful performance of the NSU team, we know that we still have room to grow and develop, our goal is to prepare better and win medals. According to the rules, Artem and Anton can no longer participate in ICPC competitions, they will join the coaching staff and help prepare the teams. And Sofia can still participate, so she will prepare for next year with a different team, — concluded Vladimir Isachenko.
