About
The 1st WASP Lighthouse Hackathon in Ume氓
Help Build AI That Benefits Society
The WASP Lighthouse Hackathon is a 48-hour sprint where builders and designers turn ideas into demos focused on applications of Machine Learning. This year, we will turn the spotlight on two research areas of the WASP researchers in Ume氓: Explainable AI and Computer Vision. Across two singular projects, llmSHAP and SGG-Bench, you will illuminate the black box of LLMs and discover the power of low-cost approaches in Vision-Language modeling.
Whether you're interested in interpretability methods of AI or in redefining new usage of cutting-edge computer vision tools, this is your chance to push the boundaries. In the span of a weekend, you will have the chance to collaborate with others and bring the best of your ideas to life!
We welcome students, PhDs, and postdocs currently studying at Ume氓 University.
Whether you're coding your first app or shipping your tenth prototype, you'll be able to find a team. Only requirement is creativity 馃榾
