ONLINE KICK-OFF Challenge, data and tasks walkthrough, Q&A by Levente Szabados

This session is a place for data scientists to come together and get additional expert-insights about the recently published Kaggle competition. If you wanna make your small contribution to today’s complex situation that we all have faced or looking for a team or maybe want to learn data science or simply curious - then this is the chance.

ABOUT THE CHALLENGE AND DATA Kaggle has launched a competition in response to COVID-19 with an interesting 2GB-dataset. This dataset is a joint effort of several organisations such as Allen Institute for AI, Georgetown University, Microsoft, Google, White House and others. 29,000 scholarly articles about coronaviruses. All details here on Kaggle’s page: www.kaggle.com/allen-institute-for-ai/CORD-19-research-challenge

TASKS To wrap it up, tasks have to do with data mining (especially NLP), to get deeper insights about these viruses, their transmission, incubation, genetics, origin, vaccines, medical care and other perspectives.

WHAT IS IN THE SESSION Levente - data science expert, will give an overview of data, tasks, possible approaches, ideas and tips.
