On behalf of Booz Allen Hamilton, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, NVIDIA, and Kaggle, welcome to the Second Annual Data Science Bowl! In store for you is a fascinating medical imaging problem on an unprecedented data set.
\n\nThe Booz Allen team has prepared some very helpful material to get you comfortable with cardiac MRIs. There is an introductory video, two tutorials (one using deep learning), and even more at datasciencebowl.com.
\n\nWelcome, and good luck!
