Hosted by Esben Kran, Apart Research, Neel Nanda
Join this AI safety hackathon to find new perspectives on the "brains" of AI!
We will work with multiple research directions and one of the most relevant is mechanistic interpretability. Here, we work towards a researcher understanding of neural networks and why they do what they do.
We provide you with the best starter templates that you can work from so you can focus on creating interesting research instead of browsing Stack Overflow. You're also very welcome to check out some of the ideas already posted!
How to participate
Create a user on the itch.io (this) website and click participate. We will assume that you are going to participate and ask you to please cancel if you won't be part of the hackathon.
Instructions
You will work on research ideas you generate during the hackathon and you can find more inspiration below.
Submission
Everyone will help rate the submissions together on a set of criteria that we ask everyone to follow. You receive 5 projects that you have to rate during the 4 hours of judging before you can judge specific projects (so we avoid selectivity in the judging).
