Cochabamba
This page preserves the announced programme for Cochabamba’s first datathon. Check current dates and availability with the local team.
When: unconfirmed in the original announcement
Where: In-person
Programme: Machine Learning
Course structure:
Code2Learn
During the first half of the program you will learn the fundamentals of Machine Learning with practical programming exercises. In addition, our AI-specialized mentors will share their experiences and success stories.
Build2Learn
In the second half of the programme, you will develop AI models to address a specific problem, with support from our mentors.
Demo Day
At the end, each team will present its project at Demo Day to share its achievements and what it has learned.
Datathon structure:
Fundamentals of deep learning
We will explore the mathematical foundations of neural networks and build a network using Python, PyTorch and TensorFlow. We will also study optimisation and regularisation.
Convolutional neural networks
To work with images, we will study convolutional neural networks (CNNs), classic architectures and transfer learning.
Recurrent neural networks
We will introduce natural language processing (NLP) through recurrent neural networks (RNNs), including networks with gates and memory cells.
Computer vision
We will continue working with images by applying filters, detecting edges and objects, and learning about the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm.
Advanced topics
We will explore sequence-to-sequence models, attention mechanisms and transformers.
Unsupervised deep learning
We will study latent spaces and the foundations and architectures of generative adversarial networks (GANs).
Cloud computing for deep learning
We will learn the foundations of cloud computing and how to deploy deep learning models with Amazon Web Services.
Ethics for artificial intelligence
AI affects people and society. This module explores appropriate uses, possible risks and our responsibilities when developing these systems.
Artificial intelligence project
In this module, you will learn to develop a project using the programme’s concepts and present it at Demo Day.
Demo Day
At the end of the programme, each team will present its project at Demo Day and share what it has learned.
