Olympiad conditions
Computer Science and Programming Olympiad - intellectual competitions for solving various problems on computers, for solving which it is necessary to come up with and apply any program and/or algorithm in one of the programming languages.
University programming olympiads have been held since the early 80s for students with the development and testing of programs on jury tests. The winner of one of the first programming olympiads was Boris Nuraliev, founder of 1C.
Olympiads are held in order to identify the most talented and capable people in the field of programming, as well as to arouse interest in programming. Winners and prize-winners of Olympiads receive diplomas and the right to enter leading universities for computer specialties without exams.
Participation in the Olympiads in computer science and programming is considered successful if the participants were able to solve the assigned tasks on the computer by compiling a program and checking it on the computer on tests provided by the jury.
The solution of the problem is considered correct if the computer gives the correct results on (all) jury tests. The algorithm (program) contains errors if on some tests the computer gives failures, failures or incorrect results. The winners of the Olympiads make algorithms and programs with almost no errors.
Many years of practice of holding olympiads and championships in computer science and programming show that the winners are those and only those students and schoolchildren who have learned how to compile algorithms and programs without errors.
At the Russian regional Internet Olympiads in computer science, competitions are held in three rounds: the first two rounds are testing students' knowledge of the Unified State Exam in computer science, and the third round is solving computer science problems with testing the correctness of programs.
To solve Olympiad problems on computers, Pascal and C languages are used at programming Olympiads, and Basik (freebasic interpreter) and Pascal (freepascal compiler) languages are used at computer Olympiads.
Winners and prize-winners of Olympiads in computer science receive diplomas and the right to enter universities without exams for computer specialties, and participants who have successfully passed the USE tests are counted when entering a university.

Russian students win gold medal at international machine learning competition
A team of students from the Institute of Computer Science at MISIS University won the Ariel Data Challenge international machine learning competition on the Kaggle platform. The receipt of a gold medal for solving the problem of the European Space Agency was announced on November 27, 2024.
According to the press service of the Institute of Computer Science of MISIS University, students Georgy Aparin and Artyom Khapilov have developed a method for improving the quality of data obtained from the ARIEL telescope spectrometers, which is planned to be launched in 2029 to study exoplanets.
Acting Head of the Department of Engineering Cybernetics Albert Efimov noted that this achievement emphasizes the importance of artificial intelligence and machine learning in astronomical research, and also demonstrates the relevance of the university's educational program.
Participants developed a method based on parametric and polynomial approximation to restore the star's luminosity curve. The technology allows you to eliminate "jitter noise" - interference from microvibrations of the telescope's stabilization flywheels, the amplitude of which reaches 200 photons per million.
The decision of Russian students is published on the Kaggle platform. For the successful completion of the task, the team received an invitation to speak at the workshop of the NeurIPS-2024 International Conference on Neural Networks in Vancouver.
Since 2021, the Center for Technological Competitions and Olympiads of NITU MISIS has prepared teams that have won about 130 prizes at all-Russian and international IT competitions, with a total prize pool of more than ₽25 million.
The Kaggle platform is the leading online community for Data Science competitions, where large companies offer technical tasks and participants from around the world develop models to solve them.
The ARIEL telescope is designed for the first large-scale analysis of the chemical composition of the atmospheres of more than 1000 extrasolar planets. The method developed by students will help improve the accuracy of the data received.
