Imagine unleashing the power of artificial intelligence to automate a critical component of biomedical research, expediting life-saving research in the treatment of almost every disease from rare disorders to the common cold. This could soon be a reality, thanks to the fourth Data Science Bowl, a 90-day competition in which, for the very first time, participants trained deep learning models to examine images of cells and identify nuclei, regardless of the experimental setup—and without human intervention. Algorithms developed in this competition could save researchers hundreds of thousands of hours of effort per year. Read More

The Data Science Bowl has made a truly impressive and positive impact using data science for social good. Participating in the challenge is an extraordinary opportunity to apply strategy and skills, gain new ones and fully embrace being a part of the analytics community. Read More

We took on the challenge to spot nuclei and speed cures by creating solutions to automate nucleus detection. With the help of thousands of people around the globe, the conclusion of this year’s Data Science Bowl points to new beginnings in moving all medical research ahead from major threats like heart disease and diabetes to day to-day ailments like allergies or rare disorders.

On February 15, 2018,  Dr. Anne Carpenter hosted a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) to help data scientists tackle the mission of this year’s Data Science Bowl: create an algorithm to automate nucleus detection. She invited participants to ask about the challenge, her team’s open-source CellProfiler software, what it’s like being a scientist, or anything else on their minds. Read More
