We are pleased to announce four finalists for the 2020 INFORMS QSR Industry Data Challenge. The topic of this year's Data Challenge is "CT Scan Diagnosis for COVID-19".

We had around 50 participants with completed submissions from 12 teams. The submissions were evaluated by an online model testing platform and a panel of judges. Based on the evaluation, four finalists are identified:


  *   Seonho Park, Farnaz Babaie Sarijaloo, and Bijan Taslimi

University of Florida


  *   Werner Jiang and Min-hwan Oh

Columbia University/Seoul National University


  *   Maede Maftouni, Andrew Chung Chee Law, Yangze Zhou, and Bo Shen

Virginia Tech/Purdue University


  *   Hang Dong and Xiaoting He

Microsoft Research/Amazon Web Services

The finalists will present their solutions at the 2020 INFORMS Annual Meeting during a live session on Monday, November 9, from 2:00 - 3:15 PM. A panel of judges will select one winner and one runner up, and the results will be announced at the QSR Business Meeting.

Congratulations to all of the finalists! Many thanks to all of the organizers and evaluators for their time, hard work, and efforts in the process! We look forward to seeing you all at the live Data Challenge session at the virtual conference.

Co-chairs for the Data Challenge,
