Developed by SAS and HEC Montréal, Cortex is an analytics simulation game that enables participants to learn, apply, and improve their machine learning and statistics skills. Cortex is a cloud-based game that includes a case study with data based on real-world scenarios. Participants upload their results to a leaderboard to see where they rank in comparison to their cohort. Each individual has the opportunity to improve their score by adjusting their models and resubmitting to the leaderboard.
