Fair Universe NeurIPS Competition Launched

The Fair Universe collaboration—composed of Berkeley Lab (NERSC and Physics Divisions), the University of Washington, Universite Paris-Saclay, and ChaLearn— is building an open, large-compute-scale AI ecosystem for benchmarks and challenges (original press release). The collaboration just launched their latest competition focussed on discovering and minimizing systematic uncertainties for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.

This is an accepted NeurIPS competition and winners will be invited to a special session at the conference in December.
