[Question] Help me find a good Hackathon subject

Let’s list the constraints:

  • Basically, people know how to code but don’t really know ML

  • But at the same time, 3 days is enough time to learn a notion or understand and improve a template

  • If we don’t want it to be a hard to evaluate, the evaluation metric must be clear

  • The topic must be related to AI safety, bonus if the topic is useful for ia safety

  • The topic must be difficult, and must be able to keep strong people busy even for 3 days

  • It must be possible to work on colab

  • bonus if the number of ways to approach the topic is large so that participants do not all implement the same thing

  • bonus if it’s not too painful to organize

The goal of the hackathon is to find smart students who might be motivated to pursue in technical AI safety


I PayPal 50 euros for any idea I end up using in the hackathon
