Phase-1 Data Hackathon Overview:

The data hackathon is for all teams around the world to present and show the power of BHI and AI in combating pandemics.

There are multiple datasets provided below to cover:

• H1: Bioinformatics: Single Cell Sequencing
• H2: Bioinformatics: Drug Target
• H3: Imaging Informatics (CT Imaging)
• H4: Sensor Informatics (Audio Signals)
• H5: Public Health Informatics (Public Health Dynamics)
• H6: AI for Knowledge Discovery (NLP)

Many IEEE-sponsored, and individual institution-sponsored awards will be given to top performing teams.
