Congratulations to Navnoor Bawa (left) and Saksham Verma (right) for winning the Trilemma Beta global data science tournament!

Trilemma Beta was a free data science tournament that ran from July 8th to August 5th 2024. It focused on generating probabilistic models for Bitcoin returns.

214 teams participated in the tournament, with representation from 82 universities, including:

• University of California, Berkeley

• University of Toronto

• The University of British Columbia

• National University of Singapore

• University of Pennsylvania

• The University of Hong Kong

• Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay

Despite 72 teams having members who have completed graduate school, two 2nd-year undergraduates from Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology dominated the tournament. Such a result demonstrated that extraordinary talent can be found outside of traditional institutions.
