If you think you have a winning idea that enables people to monitor the impact of climate change, predict a global crisis like Covid-19 or solve one of the the world’s many big problems today, then you might be interested in TigerGraph’s million-dollar challenge that is on now.
The Million Dollar Challenge is calling on people to use graph technology, which can link and map out a lot more information than traditional databases, to find answers to these pressing problems.
Announced last month, the contest has already drawn 1,000 registrations from 90 countries. Participants include data scientists, developers, product managers, designers, data engineers, machine learning engineers and students.
TigerGraph, which offers graph databases for advanced analytics and machine learning, is behind the challenge that promises US$1 million in prize money.
The top prize is US$250,000 cash, with other awards for a winning solution by an all-woman team and a submission that garners the most votes. There are also prizes for the most impactful, innovative, ambitious and applicable entries.
The judging committee is made up of renowned data scientists, distinguished engineers and experts on artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge graph and more.
The judging committee includes eight PhDs, three academics from top universities, an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, a marine geoscientist, and a 2x Kaggle Grand Master. TigerGraph engineers and product experts will also join the panel as employee judges. Global challenge judges include:
- Dave DeCaprio, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of ClosedLoop AI
