Hello everyone,
ProjectX is a four-month long machine learning research competition for undergrads hosted by University of Toronto Artificial Intelligence Group ( https://www.uoft.ai/ ). Over those four months, participants will be working on their topic and writing a paper about their findings.
As long as you are an Undergraduate student graduating after April 2023 you are eligible to participate.

If you are interested, or if you have any questions, please write an email to
csss-exec-current@sfu.ca
detailing why you are interested, past project experience in machine learning or artificial intelligence, planned work/course load for Fall 2022 and your resume. Also include when you are expected to graduate and if you will be able to dedicate time to the long commitment. This is a big project so if you plan to take a heavy course load in Fall this may not the best competition to participate in. If you are interested please submit your application byAugust 18th 23:59 PST.
If you have people you would ideally like to work with please include their names in your email. We may match people up to form the team. Also attached is an invitation package as well as sample outcomes from previous years.
Best,
