CEDAR email: Solar Filament Segmentation Challenge 2026

[Ahmadzadeh, Azim]

Solar Filament Segmentation Challenge 2026

We invite the solar physics and machine learning communities to participate in the Filament Segmentation Challenge 2026, a Kaggle competition focused on automated, pixel-precise segmentation of solar filaments in ground-based H-alpha observations. The competition offers $3,000 in prizes, and winning teams will have an opportunity to present their work at IEEE BigData 2026<https://bigdataieee.org/BigData2026/>.

A judging committee from NSO, GSU, NJIT, and UMSL will evaluate the submissions. We welcome researchers, students, and practitioners from both solar physics and AI/ML communities to participate.

For more information, please visit the competition page at https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/filament-segmentation-2026<https://url6929.aas.org/ls/click?upn=u001.9VniMruU5BtFbMXgr94zQpJ6Xz97un-2BiWl4wVhEtjmb7tDFoNDUti0Uc5oP2Pln3oKRSw3tvmSOv8Xu1av4gaiPlEgv7E6wJT1vM2cvc7Nk-3DnCNH_YrsaBQC-2FE296ZX3h23Kec0fk5LZlWi18wmnNGuUzOfLBDKgBC1qOFdkA8REpHZkoQVi7IxX83Egf29sJRv-2Bfukn2IJYnNGhh84bQKjQ-2FgtkynWiV0uc5dIg141-2BY8XOD66RPlfZfIzcBUBSFcfgouai7t9W12-2FMSlXMRF3FI-2FUvCFkPYPi-2FGDZCX3MNY5-2Fr4YfsysaPo9XkHgsgnuq1f-2FA-3D-3D>.
