NASA Tournament Lab at IQSS launches Exploration Challenge
The Harvard-NASA Tournament Lab at IQSS and Dr. Albert Lin are proud to announce the launch of the Collective Minds & Machines Exploration Challenge. This $15,000 challenge uses satellite imagery of the region of the lost tomb of Genghis Khan to develop an active, machine-learning algorithm that matches human capability. For more information, visit www.topcoder.com/collectiveminds.
You can also join the NASA Tournament Lab team for a Google hangout. Albert Lin, National Geographic Emerging Explorer and UC San Diego Research Scientist; Karim Lakhani, Lumry Family Associate Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School and IQSS affiliate; and Jason Crusan, the Director of NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems will discuss the challenge in detail at 1:00pm EDT on Friday, September 13th. Learn how crowdsourcing and open innovation can be applied to create machine-learning algorithms that accelerate historical discoveries and how NASA assesses satellite imagery.
