​Do you work with PyTorch? Would you like to have smarter, smaller, cheaper ML models? Would you like to have them today rather than next year? Then join us for Perforated AI's second Dendritic Optimization Hackathon as a part of Open Source Week! ​Neuroscience has come a long way since the artificial neuron was first invented in 1943. In 2012 researchers discovered that this original design was missing something important, the additional computation happening within biological dendrites. This hackathon is an opportunity to use Perforated AI's open source repository to add artificial dendrites to your own PyTorch projects. Empowering them to be even more powerful on the same datasets. ​Mandatory for Participation: Bring a project with you!  This is not a typical hackathon where you build something from scratch.  You will be applying Dendritic Optimization.  When you walk in the door you should already have a functional PyTorch project you want to improve. ​Case Studies Track: ...
