Our TMCF
Theory & Methods Challenge Fortnights are intensive, two-week events where teams of 12 experts from across the Turing university partner network and external institutions worldwide collaborate to initiate work on tackling a foundational challenge in data science and artificial intelligence. Each event focuses on a specific theoretical or methodological challenge that has the potential to impact data science and artificial intelligence at a fundamental level.

Welcome to our upcoming Turing Theory & Methods Challenge Fortnight (TMCF). Our challenge will take place in the British Library in summer 2024.
The ambition behind TMCFs is nicely laid out on the Alan Turing Institute’s website (above). Ours seeks to a address a problem familiar to data-driven research: the garden of forking paths fallacy (Gelman and Loken 2013). We have assembled a stellar team to work on the challenge – world-leaders in data science engineering and practice. Alongside the challenge we intend to host public lectures and seminars – more news on this to follow.
We will update these pages through 2024 as planning and other preparatory work develops.
