Data Science / Machine Learning Contests

[ZeroToOne]

To the data scientists and machine learning/AI enthusiasts out there, have you had any experience with Quantopian or QuantConnect or know someone who has? I'm specifically interested in the format of the contests on those sites; where people submit trading algorithms that are back tested and then scored on out-of-sample data. That competition model (testing ML algorithms against each other) might work well for the business model I'm currently working on.

I'm specifically looking for:

• Input/guidance on setting up / running the competitions
• Are data scientists more likely to use Python, R, JavaScript, etc?
• Are there any other non-trading competitions with a similar model?
• Suggestions on the type of person should I be looking at hiring to help. I have a professional programming background, and have even played with machine learning (Keras / TensorFlow), but I do not have any sort of formal data science experience.

Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
