✍️ A Message from the Organizing Chair

“Welcome to the International Data Science Challenge (IDSC) 2026.
In an era where data is the pulse of innovation, especially within the healthcare sector, our mission is to bridge the gap between complex algorithms and real-world impact. This competition isn’t just about finding the best model; it’s about fostering a cross-border ecosystem where students from Malaysia, Indonesia, and beyond can collaborate, compete, and catalyze change.
We have assembled a world-class committee and advisory board to ensure that your journey from data exploration to insight delivery is as rewarding as it is challenging. To all participants: may your code be clean, your insights be sharp, and your passion for discovery be boundless. Let’s turn data into the next big breakthrough!”
