This presentation covers the idea behind and execution of this year’s Dynamic Pricing Competition. Together with the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, we at GoDataDriven provide a neutral testing ground for participants in the fields of dynamic pricing to evaluate their Reinforcement Learning algorithms. Participants with Industry and Academic backgrounds can benchmark their pricing algorithms across different scenarios (duopoly, oligopoly, and dynamic) to gain valuable insights into their submission’s performance and to compete for the prize pool.
