DESCRIPTION:IEEE SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) 
 of Montreal Section\, Vision and Image Processing Research Group of the Un
 iversity of Waterloo and DarwinAI Corp. invite data scientists\, students 
 and professionals working on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to participate i
 n a virtual competition to help medical researchers diagnose COVID-19 with
  chest X-ray (CXR) images. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the devel
 opment of highly accurate yet practical AI solutions for detecting COVID-1
 9 cases and\, hopefully\, accelerating the treatment of those who need it 
 the most. Moreover\, this AI for Good initiative will also allow us to tak
 e action on at least one of the [United Nations Sustainable Development Go
 als (SDGs)](https://sdgs.un.org/goals)\, Good Health and Well-being.\n\nDu
 ring this workshop and networking event\, you have the opportunity to atte
