Dataset of the 'Industrial Challenge: Monitoring of drinking-water quality' competition hosted at The Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO) July 15th-19th 2017, Berlin, Germany The task of the competition was to develop an anomaly detection algorithm for a water- and environmental data set. Included in zenodo: - dataset of water quality data - additional material and descriptions provided for the competition The competition was organized by: M. Friese, J. Stork, A. Fischbach, M. Rebolledo, T. Bartz-Beielstein (TH Köln) The dataset was provided and prepared by: Thüringer Fernwasserversorgung, IMProvT research project (S. Moritz) Industrial Challenge: Monitoring of drinking-water quality Description: Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface and is vital to all known forms of life. The provision of safe and clean drinking water to protect public health is a natural aim. Performing regular monitoring of the water-quality is essential to achieve this aim. Goal of the GECCO 2017 Industrial Challenge is to analyze drinking-water data and to develop a highly efficient algorithm that most accurately recognizes diverse kinds of changes in the quality of our drinking-water.
