 entinel Taxa(2) Forecasting Monkey Motor Neural Behavior(3) Predicting Coa
 stal Flooding Events\nEvent details:\n1. Each of the three ML challenges w
 ill be introduced. You are free to work on the one you like most (or all o
 f them!).\n2. Bring your own laptop.\n3. Note: We will be able to provi
 de additional (GPU) computing resources. See details in introduction slide
 s.\n4. Prior ML experience is recommended to complete model submissions a
 nd participate in the competition. Starter kits are provided for each chal
 lenge. Familiarity with Python is required.\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/eve
