Join this AI safety hackathon to find new perspectives on the "brains" of AI!
48 hours intense research in interpretability, the modern AI neuroscience.
We focus on interpreting the innards of neural networks using methods developed from mechanistic interpretability! With the starter Colab code, you should be able to quickly get a technical insight into the process.
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. This will happen over a 2-week period and will be open to everyone!
