MIT iQuHACK 2024 - Another quantum computing hackathon full of challenges and learning about parametric quantum circuits, matrix product states and graph states. I'm very happy and grateful for being able to work with you all! We gave our best 🚀 #iquhack #mit #quantumcomputing #ionq

"The 2024 nextGEMS+WarmWorld+EERIE Hamburg Hackathon was better than what I had seen before." This is what Markel García Díez, from Predictia Intelligent Data Solutions, thinks about our last hackathon hosted and organised in colaboration with EERIE I European Eddy-Rich Earth System Models and WarmWorld. Check out this post to read more about the hackathon from a data viewer perspective 👇

🖥️ 🔬 Hackathon update 1: Machine Learning for Electron and Scanning Probe Microscopy (December 16-17, hybrid) Dear colleagues - we are starting to build the teams for the hackathon on Machine Learning for Electron and Scanning Probe Microscopy, https://lnkd.in/eH4bpDWy Currently we are at 170 registrations, and its high time to start building the teams around the seed problems we have built, and submit your own problems and data sets. To discuss these, join the hackathon Slack channel: https://lnkd.in/eRQmP4Jm As before - please also spread the word!

For the third time in the last academic year, our team of Master's students from Sirius University won hackathon. This time we came second in the «Semantic Document Classification» category and received 200,000 rubles for our team. Team members: Ivan Butakov, Andrei Donskoi, Timofei Shchudro, Ali Ramazanov, Artem Medvedev The task of the hackathon was to automatically determine the type of a document (such as a law, an order, etc.) based on its text in order to speed up the work of companies when validating applications. The technological solution of the project involved parsing external data, fine-tuning a large language model and building a lightweight model based on decision trees for the service part. For the presentation, the team prepared an online service based on Docker containers with React and FastAPI frameworks for the client and server sides. The teams' results were evaluated based on two metrics: the accuracy of predicting the document type and the evaluation of the project's defence in front of technical and industry experts.

TD-MPC Explained: In this video I break down how TD-MPC works at inference time https://lnkd.in/gJJjaBUX. Enjoy, and stay tuned for part 2 where I talk about training! Anyone who knows about imitation learning for robots, and a little bit about RL should be able to follow along. For context, TD-MPC is a method for simultaneously learning a world model and value function using reinforcement learning. I'll be running a workshop at the upcoming #LeRobot Hackathon, where we'll be training a real robot to do a simple task with TD-MPC.

🏅WorldQuant IQC 2024🏅 The International Quant Championship (IQC) 2024 is one of the world’s largest quant competitions. The competition takes place on WorldQuant BRAIN®, a simulation platform where competitors accumulate points by building alphas using historical market data and predefined operators to simulate equity positions. The competition ran for several months starting in March, with more than 𝟯𝟱,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 signing up. 📋 With Hugo Yeremian and Léon Thomir, we decided to team up under the team name 𝘗𝘪𝘱𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯. During this journey, we developed more than 80 different alphas to create the portfolio with the best sharpe ratio, returns and drawdowns as possible. 📈 With those results, we are happy to announce that we finished 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲, and 𝟭𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗱𝗲 on the leaderboard. We were also invited to an online event where we presented three of our alphas to a team of Quant Researchers and Portfolio Managers from WorldQuant. During this event, we competed against nine other top teams from Australia, Canada, Sweden, and other countries. We were ultimately awarded 𝟯𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 and won 𝟭𝟬𝟬𝟬$! 🏆 Here is the certificate we received from this experience. It has been a great journey, and we learned many strategies that we could apply in the future. Thanks to WorldQuant for the organization!

Following up on my previous post about BlackForest Flux Dev, I'm excited to share how I've taken my custom LoRA model to the next level - turning it into captivating videos! 🔧 The Process: Export your LoRA model from Stable Diffusion Upload to RunwayML for initial video generation (Optional) Refine and enhance using Luma Labs.

🚨I'm honored to be part of this year's FF PMC. Flink Forward is the place, where the #apacheflink community gets together every year, organized by Ververica | Original creators of Apache Flink®. Why Flink Forward? 👉 #apacheflink although around for years, has exploded in demand over the last ~2-3 years. And there is a good reason for it 😉 👉 Due to its nature and use from many early adopters and hyperscalers, you get to see the "what's and how's" of (but not limited to) #streaming problems; the biggest names in the market aim to solve. 👉 What's the next big thing for #streaming and #streamprocessing systems. ... and way way more. If you thought last year was a big show (even though we got our drones 🛫 jammed 😀 🙃 ), then you are up for a surprise as this year will be HUGE. It's Flink's 10th anniversary 🎉 , so it's only natural cool stuff is in place 😎 🌊 If you have a story to share and haven't done already make sure to submit your proposal: https://lnkd.in/dQjApM_d 🌊 If you feel reluctant or want more feedback, you can always reach out to any PMC; we are here to help 😉 🌊 Let's rock these streams 🤘 and look forward to seeing you all in Berlin. #dataengineering
