WiDS Datathon 2021
|
Excellence in Research AwardParticipants in the WiDS Datathon Phase 1 on Kaggle, were invited to share more details about their work with WiDS Datathon 2021 data through a research paper of up to 3 pages. Submissions for the WiDS Datathon Excellence in Research Award were open from March 9 - April 30, 2021.
Phase 2 is now closed. We are currently reviewing paper submissions and will announce winners this summer 2021. |

Background: This Year's Dataset and Challenge
We took a closer look at the WiDS 2020 Datathon data from MIT’s GOSSIS (Global Open Source Severity of Illness Score) dataset, but instead of predicting patient survival, this year the WiDS Datathon focused on creating models to classify whether patients have been diagnosed with a certain type of diabetes which could inform treatment in the ICU.
The WiDS Datathon is hosted on Kaggle, an online community of data scientists. If you haven’t participated in Kaggle competitions before, check them out here — the platform has a ton of complex challenges with real-world impact and starter datasets for learning data science basics.

We invite anyone from those new to data science to veterans of the field to participate. For those who have never tried machine learning, we have a series of guides to help you get started with the algorithms and dataset.
The WiDS Datathon inspires women worldwide to learn more about data science, and to create a supportive environment for women to connect with others in their community who share their interests. Toward these ends, we open the datathon to individuals or teams of up to 4; at least half of each team must be women (people identifying as female).
Participants can be students, faculty, government workers, members of NGOs, or industry members.
