HuBMAP Awards: Hacking the Kidney on Kaggle

The HuBMAP Awards: Hacking the Kidney on Kaggle event is a celebration of the innovation and achievements of the Kaggle participants who competed in the HuBMAP: Hacking the Kidney competition.

HuBMAP is an initiative to develop an open and global platform to map healthy cells in the human body. Understanding the healthy state lays the foundation for understanding disease. In humans, the proper functioning of organs and tissues is dependent on the interaction, spatial organization, and specialization of all our cells. In the same way that cities are defined by their communities, neighborhoods and homes. Through HuBMAP a vast amount of data has been generated which needs to be presented for interpretation quickly, efficiently and accurately. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and deep learning have opened new avenues to digest and make sense of big data. We wanted to decode the kidney to identify functional communities composed of single cells in three dimensions. To achieve this, we initiated a Kaggle competition to crowdsource this effort of hacking the kidney and bring together the collective intelligence of biologists and machine learning scientists globally. This competition garnered submission from over 1200 teams around the world and achieved state-of-the-art results. Submissions were judged by eminent leaders and pioneers in the fields of kidney biology and machine learning. A big thanks to our innovation and cyber sponsors Google, Roche, Deerfield Healthcare, Deloitte, Pistoia Alliance, CAS and Maven Wave.
