Train a Sequence Model for Wearable-Telemetry Sleep Staging at a Healthtech
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Train a Sequence Model for Wearable-Telemetry Sleep Staging at a Healthtech. Advanced challenge in code. Writing production code that solves real engineering...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Pick the best sequence architecture for on-device sleep staging by trading off per-stage F1 against parameter count and FLOPs.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Train and compare recurrent and attention-based sequence models
- Reason about on-device deployment constraints early
- Evaluate per-class performance on imbalanced multi-class tasks
- Communicate architecture choices to an engineering audience
