Turning Machine Intelligence Against Cancer The Data Science Bowl Passion. Curiosity. Purpose. Presented by Booz Allen and Kaggle

In the U.S., cancer will strike two in every five people in their lifetimes. But it affects all of us. That's why, in 2015, the office of the Vice President announced the Cancer Moonshot. It's an audacious effort to make a decade's worth of progress in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in just five years. Beginning today, the 2017 Data Science Bowl will pursue one of the Cancer Moonshot's key goals: unleashing the power of data against this deadly disease. Presented by Booz Allen and Kaggle, the competition will convene the data science and medical communities to develop cancer detection algorithms, and help end the disease as we know it.
