You can register by group from 2 to 4 people
We will set up an online platform to host all interactions during the hackathon. Moreover, all your coding and computation will take place in the cloud. You will receive the links and your credentials to the platforms 1 week before the hackathon.
Warning: a Discord account will be needed
You will need your own computer. None will be provided.
You will have to present your project in English at the end of the day. To ease the presentation, you should prepare a set of slides.
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has emerged as a hot topic in the energy sector due to its potential to revolutionize how energy systems operate, offering unprecedented efficiency and sustainability. By enabling machines to learn and optimize decisions in complex environments, RL can significantly enhance energy distribution, consumption, and storage practices. Also you will have the opportunity to use MLFLow, the most popular framework to productionalize machine learning.
The programming language is imposed: PYTHON.
Each member of the winning team will receive a Google Coral Dev Board to turn your AI ideas into reality and experiment with your own ML projects 😉
