Can you create a method to forecast the future? The Mercury Challenge presents an opportunity for individuals and teams to earn awards by creating innovative solutions using machine learning and artificial intelligence methods to automatically predict the occurrence of critical events.

The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is looking for innovative machine learning techniques that would improve the accuracy and timeliness of global forecasts.

This challenge gives you a chance to join a community of leading experts to advance your research, contribute to global security and humanitarian activities, and compete for cash prizes. This is your chance to test your forecasting skills and prove yourself against the state-of-the-art, and to demonstrate your superiority over political pundits.
