StoriesIn partnership with Women in Data Science (WiDS), the West Big Data Innovation Hub, and Figure Eight, Planet is bringing its unique dataset to a competition that challenges participants to use data science to build awareness and solutions for tropical deforestation and palm oil production. The competition, launching today on Kaggle, comes in advance of the 2019 Global Women in Data Science Conference, held on March 4, 2019 at Stanford University in California. Leveraging Planet’s global 3-meter satellite imagery, participants will compete to develop machine learning models that can detect and classify land use conversion to palm oil production. Winners will be announced at the conference on March 4, 2019. [caption id="attachment_143161" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]
