<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The Machine Learning based Geospace Environment Modeling (MLGEM) resource group hosts the MLGEM challenge storm session at mini-GEM, scheduled for 3:30-5:00pm on Sunday, December 8, at the Westin Washington,
DC Downtown, 999 9th St NW, Washington, DC20001. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">At this mini-GEM session, we invite AI modelers from various heliophysics domains —from the Sun and solar wind to the dayside, inner, and tail magnetosphere, upper atmosphere, and ground —to present results
on any of the following challenge storms:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> 1. January 4, 2023 (minimum Sym-H :-74nT at 09:04UT)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> 2. May 6, 2023 (minimum Sym-H : -108 nT at 05:11 UT)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Preliminary results are welcome, and while comparison with the observations would be appreciated, they are not required.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The goal of this mini-GEM session is to lay the groundwork for future ML-GEM storm challenge sessions. We will showcase preliminary results of the challenge storms, discuss potential collaboration, and plan
a more coordinated approach to develop an Artificial Intelligence Modeling Framework for Advancing Heliophysics Research (AIMFAHR). We hope you can contribute to our MLGEM activities.
