(5) This year's conference will take place in one day and will comprise a hands-on tutorials session, a hackathon and poster presentations. You will be asked to indicate your interest in this form. Kindly note that you can either choose the hands-on tutorial session OR the hackathon and NOT BOTH. Also, regardless of the option you choose, you can submit a proposal for a poster presentation. Hands-On Tutorials (Recommended for Beginners) The hands-on tutorial will cover basics in Python programming useful for Machine Learning. We would cover topics like Python Lists, Introduction to Numpy, and Introduction to Scikit-Learn. Additionally, we would go over a practical project using Python. This project will guide you in a step-by-step process of building a Machine Learning Project with Python. We encourage all participants who would be selected to participate to bring along their laptops. No prior knowledge of Python programming or Machine Learning is required. Hackathon (Recommended for Intermediates and Experts) The Hackathon will be based on a practical Machine Learning project where you would have access to a starter notebook. You will be required to work in a team to come up with a better solution that can get the best score on the leaderboard. All selected participants are highly encouraged to come along with their laptops to participate in the competition. We would also not be providing any GPUs as you will not necessarily need this in the Hackathon. Advanced or intermediate knowledge in Python programming and machine learning is highly required. Prizes will be awarded to the best 3 teams on the leaderboard. (6) Kindly email us via info@indabaxghana.com if you have any questions. www.indabaxghana.com
