SMC Data Challenge 2022 provides an opportunity to tackle scientific data challenges that come from eminent datasets related to ORNL, industry, and academina . These datasets come from scientific simulations and instruments in physical and chemical sciences, electron microscopy, bioinformatics, engineering, materials science, neutron sources, urban development, and other areas, and will have open research questions and tasks for participants to solve. These datasets will be used for the SMC Data Challenge (SMCDC2022) competition. Selected solutions to these challenges will be published in the SMC2022 proceedings in a CCIS Springer volume. Learn more about the SMCDC22 on this site.
Due to a spike in COVID-19 cases and other related concerns, we have decided to turn SMC 2022 into an entirely virtual conference. The date of the Data Challenge session will be September 21, 2022. We will still hold our full conference program with a keynote and four sessions with presentations from peer-reviewed papers, which will be published in our SMC2022 conference proceedings. We will also include our virtual SMC2022 Data Challenge finals and a poster session. All talks will be recorded and posted on our virtual conference site so that people in non-U.S. time zones can view them more easily. The website will be updated with the new agenda soon, and the Zoom link for the conference will be e-mailed to you before the conference.
