501(c)(3) non-profit organizing challenges
Since 2003 machine learning challenge organizer. Using challenges as a means of directing research in domains including: causality, computer vision, automatic machine learning, and high energy physics.
ChaLearn collaborates with the open-source Codalab competitions project , of which I am community lead.
We received a large EU grant to organize the 2 million Euro See.4C challenge with data from RTE. The winners have been announced. We also co-organized two AI for Industry challenges with Dassault Aviation and RTE France, funded by Région Ile-de-France. See the results of the latest L2RPN challenge.
Our current projects include Looking at People, TrackML, Meta-Learning challenges, and Learning to run a Power Network, and systematic bias in computer vision, medical data, and High Energy Physics (HEP).
