We are delighted to invite young researchers across the Helmholtz Association to apply for H³ Helmholtz Herbst Hackathon 2021 starting September 8 to 12 2021, in Gummersbach. The event is scheduled for 4 days as an on-site in person event.
We encourage Master’s Students, Doctoral Researchers & Postdocs interested in Machine Learning (ML) to apply. The hackathon offers a great opportunity to get to know ML researchers from different research domains, Helmholtz centers, and partner institutions, their research questions and ML methods. In preparation to the hackathon an introduction on running ML models on Jülich Supercomputers will be provided.
Taking part can be a great first step in bringing your favorite research topic to the fastest computer in Europe and allows you to contribute your ML expertise to other domains and applications.
The event includes
As a participant you will
There will be contact persons for the data sets as well as mentors to assist you and your team with ML and HPC related questions throughout the event. At the end of the event we will hopefully have models that solve our challenges up to a certain performance measure and maybe outperform best submissions so far. Participants can profit from increased visibility in the fields of ML and AI – across domains and within the ML communities.
If you are interested, please have a look on already implemented challenges at the Jülich Challenges Platform.
Before you apply
This event aims at ML researchers or ML users, looking for interesting data to work on. We expect to attract researchers experienced in ML methods, python and common ML and DL packages, to work with unique data sets, scientific questions and to its end come up with solutions for the challenges.
Applications will be reviewed and selection will be based on your skills and motivation as described in the registration. The organization team aims to form a group consisting of young and highly motivated researchers from as many research centers and research fields as possible.
Cost
Fees for accommodation, catering, travel expenses are sponsored by Digital Earth. Other resources needed to host this Hackathon are sponsored by Helmholtz AI Consultant Team FZJ & Jülich Challenges.
