Datathon:

International virtual COVID Data Challenge

Tuesday, 27.04. - Wednesday, 28.04.2021 · 11:00-17:00
Online

Join data scientists from Germany, Israel and Italy in the first international COVID Data Challenge

The Challenge focuses on medical imaging challenges in the context of the COVID pandemic. This time we are pleased to participate in this two-day virtual challenge together with our partners from ELLIS Genoa and ELLIS Munich, Helmholtz AI and the Israel Data Science Initiative.

The task will be based on multimodal data that includes images and other variables. Join us - and use your AI and Data Science skills to help doctors and scientists fight COVID.

What to expect:

  • Our partners from Helmholtz AI and the ELLIS units in Genoa and Munich have prepared a challenging task for you for this competition. You can learn all about it in our intro session (see agenda below) and shortly before the Challenge here.
  • Experienced data scientists from the Helmholtz Association and the Israel Data Science Initiative will support you as data coaches to find the best possible solutions.
  • You will work with state-of-the-art computing resources from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and NVIDIA Israel.
  • Last but not least, our partners have prepared great prizes for the winning teams and all participants. Stay tuned for more info....
