Last month, we wrapped up the ADIA Lab Summer School in China, which brought together participants from around the world to explore AI in real world settings. ​ Held in collaboration with @TsinghuaSIGS, this year's edition showed participants how AI is being applied across diverse sectors, all while immersing them in one of the world’s most dynamic innovative ecosystems, including a visit to the National Supercomputing Center.​ Hear directly from participants in the video as they share their experience and key takeaways from the program.

The Structural Break Challenge: Real-Time Edition continues to attract interest, demonstrating its relevance across finance, healthcare, climate science, and beyond. Watch our team discuss this year's challenge in detail, including the definition of a structural break, the updates introduced in the real-time edition, and the requirements for participation.​ This year's competition extends the original framework into a sequential setting. Participants monitor time series data as it arrives and update, at each step, their confidence that a structural break has already occurred. Breaks are no longer fixed or pre-defined and may occur at any point in the online segment, or not at all.​ Individuals and teams of up to five members can compete for a share of the USD 100,000 prize pool. Registration closes on 17 September. For full details and to register, visit the link below. adialab.ae/adia-lab-x-crunch…
