Inspiration
Solving a real world problem really excites us. So, trying to solve the routing problem proposed by Qualcomm seemed to us a great opportunity to have a chance at tackling a really hard problem.
What it does
Cluster the points and then apply a greedy algorithm in order to minimize the distance between connections.
How we built it
The project was build with python. In order to deliver the final project we divide the workload between the members of the team. Half of the team was focus on the clustering of he points while the other part was working in minimizing the distances inside clusters.
Challenges we ran into
There were some metaheuristics we try that did not gave us good results. Because of that we somehow lose so much time programming and debugging algorithms that we did not use in the final project
Accomplishments that we're proud of
When the program does not do what we expect is so frustrating for us. Nevertheless we manage to overcome difficulties and ended up submitting the best project we could.
What we learned
We learned what a real world application of data science is.
