Connectionists: [challenge] Deep Learning and Robotics Challenge in Munich

[Patrick van der Smagt]

Volkswagen Group Fundamental AI Research---a part of the Data:Lab in Munich---invites students to join the 2017 Deep Learning and Robotics Challenge.

The challenge is scheduled to take place from September 11 to October 13, 2017.  You will collaborate with your peers in small groups to solve a robotics challenge while developing and using deep-learning methodologies in a Python-environment with TensorFlow.

All groups will compete to have their robot solve the set task as efficiently as possible. The challenge will be crowned with a ceremony at GTC Europe (Oct. 10--12 in Munich) for the winning team.  We ask you to open-source all your related code.  Your major input will be related to machine learning, but also to robotics.

The DLRC is set up in collaboration with NVIDIA. In this collaboration, we will provide you with a compute infrastructure based on DGX-1, 1080s and Jetsons.  During your stay at the Data:Lab, you will be paid a salary, which you can use to cover your living expenses or visit the Oktoberfest.

Further information and application through http://argmax.ai/#dlrc.  Application deadline: July 31, 2017.  Feel free to contact us for further information.
