Virtual Data Challenge

Welcome to the SMC2020 Virtual Data Challenge

The data challenge poster session will be held on August 26 from 2:15- 4:00 pm using Zoom and the Conference website. It will be in the form of 2-minute lightning talks, followed by a Q&A session for each challenge. All posters will be eligible to win Best “Poster” and Honorable Mention.  Some poster presentations may be pre-recorded, pre-recorded presentations will not be eligible for the best poster award. Pre-recorded presentations will be available for viewing on this webpage during the Data Challenge.

The lightning talks will be presented in a general session zoom room, attendees will have a chance to ask questions. The link to the general session will be available on the SMC2020 agenda. Extended Q&A Sessions will follow in Zoom rooms moderated by the Data sponsors for each challenge.

Presenters will have 4 slides and their paper draft ready so they can share their screen if there are questions. Full teams may participate in the Q&A sessions, but there will only be one presenter for the lighting talk. Selections for Best Poster will be based on your slides, the live lightning talk, and the Q&A session. Meet our Data Challenge Sponsors.


On Wednesday, August 26 starting at 2:15 pm. Join the main session at this Zoom link. Attendees will have the chance to ask questions during the main session or after the main session can go to one of the Q&A rooms below to meet the presenters for an extended Q&A.
