Welcome to the #chydv Hackathon 2025, an exciting opportunity to advance the field of data science! In this competition, hosted by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), your challenge is to develop a regression model that accurately predicts wine quality based on various properties.

**Objective:** Utilize the provided dataset to create a model that can predict the quality of wine. Your solution will be evaluated using the quadratic weighted kappa metric, which measures the agreement between predicted and actual quality ratings.

**Timeline:** The competition is currently open for submissions and will conclude in one month. Please refer to the [Timeline](https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/chydv-hackathon-2025/overview/timeline) page for specific dates and deadlines.
