WiDS Datathon 2023 Challenge:
Adapting to Climate Change by Improving Extreme Weather Forecasts
This year’s datathon will focus on longer-term weather forecasting to help communities adapt to extreme weather events caused by climate change. The dataset was created in collaboration with Climate Change AI (CCAI). WiDS participants will submit forecasts of temperature and precipitation for a short term forecast, competing against the other teams as well as official forecasts from NOAA.
How it Works and Who Can Participate
The WiDS Datathon is now open through March 1st, 2023. See the full datathon timeline.
The dataset and challenge is accessible to both beginners and experienced participants. For those who have never tried machine learning, we will provide a series of guides to help you get started with the algorithms and dataset. We will also host a series of team building activities as well as a WiDS Datathon Slack channel to connect with participants, worldwide. Many WiDS ambassadors will host datathon workshops, where participants will be able to receive mentorship, form teams, and hone their data science skills.
The WiDS Datathon is open to individuals or teams of up to 4; at least half of each team must be individuals who identify as women. Participants can be students, faculty, government workers, members of NGOs, or industry members.
