2024資料科學漫步 — 資料科學敘事挑戰賽:超越預測

我們即將推出一項開創性的資料科學敘事挑戰賽,旨在促進科學推理並提升台灣資料科學課程的教育成果。本次挑戰賽不同於傳統競賽,重點不在於預測的準確性,更強調圍繞數據創建引人入勝的敘事的重要性。

我們先在國內舉辦這項競賽,允許參賽者使用他們喜歡的任何工具,無論是傳統統計方法還是人工智慧/機器學習技術。本次競賽的核心焦點是「詳盡而自由地從數據中學習」。我們的目標是強調通過深思熟慮和開放心態的數據分析所能實現的深度和廣度的理解。

我們計劃在網上評估所有提交的作品,並舉辦小型工作坊邀請最終入圍的五個團隊來展示他們的作品。其他合格的參賽者將有機會以海報展示結果,或進行約10分鐘的閃電演講。這將是一個半天的活動,於中研院統計所的B1演講廳及一樓大廳舉行。我們將這次競賽設計為傳統海報競賽的進階版。

Promenade of Data Science 2024 — Data Science Storytelling Challenge: Beyond Predictions.

We are launching a groundbreaking Data Science Storytelling Challenge aimed at fostering scientific reasoning and enhancing educational outcomes within data science programs in Taiwan. Unlike traditional competitions that focus primarily on predictive accuracy, our challenge emphasizes the importance of crafting a compelling narrative around data.

We propose to begin by launching this competition domestically, allowing participants to use any tools they prefer, whether conventional statistical methods or AI/machine learning techniques. The central focus of this competition is on “Learning From Data Elaborately and Liberally.” Our goal is to highlight the depth and breadth of understanding that can be achieved through thoughtful and open-minded data analysis.

We plan to evaluate all submissions online and invite a final list of, say, five teams to present their work in a small workshop. Additionally, we may allow other qualified participants to display their results as posters or give short flash presentations, perhaps 10 minutes each. This could be a half-day event, utilizing our B1 seminar room and the first-floor lobby. We envision it as a progressive version of a traditional poster competition.
