Neural Network Optimization Hackathon!

$6000 In Prizes!

Join us for Perforated AI’s First Hackathon!

As an ML researcher you have three main tools in your toolbelt: Parameter Tuning, Dataset Curation, and Model Design. Parameter Tuning and Dataset Curation have diminishing returns after initial efforts and designing new models runs the risk of no improvement upon the old ones. This hackathon will give you access to a cutting edge new tool for neural network optimization: a new type of artificial neuron.

Goals:

  1. Boost your current PyTorch projects to have better predictive power and accuracy

  2. Compress your models without a loss in predictive power and accuracy

Prizes:

1st place - 3000$

2nd place - 2000$

3rd place - 1000$

Submission of a Project: Perforated AI Hoodie
