Join the Official PyTorch Annual Hackathon 2021!
The PyTorch Annual Hackathon is back in 2021 with all new opportunities for all coders to get started or continue learning about PyTorch. Join the community to build innovative and impactful models, applications, and other projects that use AI responsibly.
PyTorch is a part of Python Programming Language package so you should know well about Python programming.
Put your machine learning skills hardcore to the test!
What is PyTorch used for?
PyTorch is an optimized tensor library primarily used for Deep Learning applications using GPUs and CPUs. It is an open-source machine learning library for Python, mainly developed by the Facebook AI Research team. It is one of the widely used Machine learning libraries.
What to Build:
Build a project using PyTorch in one of the three categories:
- PyTorch Responsible AI Development Tools & Libraries
- Web and Mobile Applications powered by PyTorch
- PyTorch Developer Tools & Libraries
What to Submit:
- Demo video :- (hosted on YouTube, Facebook Video, Vimeo). Your video should be less than 3 minutes (can be a little longer if needed), include a demo of your working application via a step-by-step visual demo, and be available in English. Be sure to explain how PyTorch was used to build your project.
- Code:- Provide a link to your publicly accessible code repository on GitHub or your preferred code sharing tool.
- Access:- Provide a URL, installation files, or other testing instructions that allow access to your working project
JUDGING CRITERIA
- Quality of the idea
Includes creativity and originality of the idea. - Implementation of the idea
Includes how well the idea was executed – is the code working? is the demo working? - Potential impact
Includes the extent to which the solution can help the most users OR can make the biggest improvements to core development.
