AI-DEEDS 2026 CTF Challenge

Chaotic Systems Challenge

Model complex dynamical systems with real-world applications

This challenge has concluded.

About the Challenge

Chaotic systems are notoriously difficult to model and predict. In this challenge, you will develop machine learning approaches to model the Lorenz system, a classic example of deterministic chaos with applications across weather prediction, fluid dynamics, and beyond.

Advance research on modeling complex dynamical systems with applications across energy and beyond. The challenge has now concluded — congratulations to the winners! See the full results.

Getting Started

The challenge is hosted on Kaggle as part of the CTF-4-Science initiative. Visit the competition page to access the dataset.
