Have you joined our Autoimmune Disease Machine Learning Challenge yet? The checkpoint for Crunch 1 is coming up on November 30. Start coding today: broad.io/MLC-2024 Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center, #KlarmanCellObservatory, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Crunch Lab, #Foundry, Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard, MIT EECS, MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS), Mass General Hospital Center for the Study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Important update on our #MLchallenge – the dataset for Crunch 2 has been released! Join now: broad.io/MLC-2024 To learn more about the biology, technology, and data backgrounds needed to participate in the competition, watch our lecture series: broad.io/MLC-2024-Lectures The goal of the Autoimmune Disease Machine Learning Challenge is to design algorithms that will enable a more accurate diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), affecting millions of people worldwide. In Crunch 2, you will predict the expression of all protein-coding genes, including those that were not measured in the spatial training data, using single-cell RNA-seq data as support. This Crunch focuses on leveraging cell transcriptional profiles to enhance the predictive model’s ability to infer the expression of unknown genes in spatial contexts.
