There are so many distinct odors in everything we see or interact with. Our reactions to different smells are almost always instant and instinctual, not cultivated. A particular smell can sometimes trigger a specific memory too. Still, most of us would not know how our brain categorizes different smells from different sensory inputs. This challenge revolves around a dataset which contains the description of molecules (as its SMILES string), and the odors it possesses. The goal of this challenge is to focus on predicting the smell of a molecular compound by analysing it's molecular structure.

The competition consists of 3 separate Rounds

• Round-1: September 8th, 2020 - October 27th, 2020
• Round-2: November 23rd - Jan 10th, 2021
