We are excited to announce the Yale/UNC-CH Geophysical Waveform Inversion Competition on Kaggle! This competition invites participants to develop machine learning algorithms for estimating subsurface properties, such as velocity maps, from seismic waveform data.
By entering this challenge, you'll have the opportunity to bridge the gaps in seismic analysis by combining physics and machine learning. Your participation could lead to significant advancements in full waveform inversion, which has applications in subsurface energy exploration, medical diagnostics, non-destructive material testing, and more.
Entry Deadline: June 23, 2025
