A data challenge on Autism Spectrum Disorder detection Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe psychiatric disorder that affects 1 in 166 children. There is evidence that ASD is reflected in individuals brain networks and anatomy. Yet, it remains unclear how systematic these effects are, and how large is their…
We have opened the registration for the next single-day RAMP on October 12. We will tackle a multi-object filtering problem: detecting Mars craters in satellite images. Please sign up before October 5: https://indico.lal.in2p3.fr/event/4651 The goal of this RAMP is to detect Mars craters in satellite images. Each instance will consist of a small square image patch, embedded…
In collaboration with IESF and MNHN Spipoll, we are organizing a third computer vision challenge for classifying pollinating insects. This time we got into the thin tail: we have 70K images and 403 classes, a lot of them with less than 10 examples per class. Pre-registration is open at http://bee-o-diversity-challenge.strikingly.com. This is also the first RAMP with…
The second edition of the Paris-Saclay Junior Conference on Data Science and Engineering took place on the 14 & 15 September 2017 with great success. The JDSE Conference is addressed to PhD students in their first year, M2 students and third year students at Engineering schools at Paris-Saclay. It…
3 & 4 July 2017 at PROTO204 Scientists from all disciplines are nowadays confronted with the necessity of diving into the world of scientific programming, whether to interpret basic data or make more advanced computation. However, developed code is often found to be sloppy and even buggy, leading to irreproducible…
