The first NCSA-NVIDIA AI Hackathon of the semester is co-organized by the Gravity Group, Innovative Systems Lab, and NCSA Industry, and co-sponsored by NCSA SPIN and NVIDIA. The main goal of the hackathon is to let talented U of I students, postdocs and staff showcase their skills in a friendly competition while working on challenging problems involving deep learning on a state-of-the-art compute platform designed for AI. This will be an intensive 2-day experience culminating in the final presentation of results on Sunday afternoon. Courtesy of NVIDIA, the winning team will receive two Titan V GPU cards. The second-place team will receive one Titan V GPU card. To participate, we ask interested students and staff to sign up at https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/5277314 by Monday, September 30 and indicate which of the four projects described below they would like to work on. Students accepted to participate in the event will be notified on Tuesday, October 1st.
