Do you want to learn more about AI for chemical sciences?
The Digital Molecular Design and Fabrication Institute (DigiFAB) and the FoNS Data ScienceÌýChampions invite third and fourth-year undergraduateÌýstudents, postgraduate taught andÌýresearch students, postdocs and early career researchers interested in the area of large language modelsÌýto participate in this freeÌýhackathon!
The Hackathon Challenge
Can large language models be used to design chemical reactions and predict materials’ properties?
Teams will compete to use large language models (like ChatGPT) to solve these global challenges. Existing knowledge in chemistry is not necessary, and the DatathonÌýChallenge is a greatÌýopportunity to get to know others interested in this area byÌýworking together! You can apply either as a team of five people or as an individual and be assigned a team by theÌýHackathon organisers.
For teams already familiar with AI, the morning session will involve fine-tuning a large language model on chemical datasets. In the afternoon, all teams are invited to use the models for solving chemistry tasks (no previous AI expertise is required).
Prizes:
- First place team: £100 per person
- Runner up team: £75 per person
- Third place team: £50 per person
