AISG Student
Hackathon 2021
About
AI Singapore (AISG) is organising the inaugural AISG Student Hackathon 2021. This yearly hackathon will bring together students from local schools to come up with new and innovative uses of Artificial Intelligence. Students will use AISG AI Bricks to build Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision and Robotic Processing Automation applications to solve real world problems identified by the students.
Through this event, we hope to encourage
- Critical and creative thinking skills needed to navigate and adapt to the changing world
- Increase the awareness of current and possible future issues of the use of AI
- Increase applications of AI technology
- Active involvement in shaping their future using AI technology
Eligibility Criteria
The Hackathon is open to full-time students from government/government-aided secondary schools and Post-Secondary Education Institutes (PSEI) based in Singapore (Secondary 3 to 5, Integrated Programme Schools, Junior Colleges, Polytechnics & Institute of Technical Education).
Hackathon Task
Design and build a tool (app, dashboard, analysis) with AISG bricks, PeekingDuck (CV), TagUI (RPA) and/or SG-NLP, that can help, assist, inform or entertain Singaporeans or businesses.
Datasets
Datasets will not be provided. Participants will need to build your own datasets that can best demonstrate your use case.
For example, you may apply SG-NLP’s Cross-Sentence Grammatical Error Correction on your academic essays for an app that helps students identify common sources of grammatical errors.
