Berrijam Jam
Berrijam Jam 2024
Our mission at Berrijam is to bring equity to artificial intelligence by making it simple, accessible and affordable for as many people as possible. Beyond technical innovation, the mission requires bringing together machine learning expertise with the art of storytelling.
That's why we created Berrijam Jam!
A Berrijam Jam is a competition where teams solve interesting predictive or analytical problems using machine learning, computer visions and artificial intelligence. In addition to trophies and bragging rights, there are cash prizes for top teams.
Each Berrijam Jam has a unique theme. Last year, Berrijam 2023 focused on Innovative Applications of AI and story telling. This year we are asking teams to push boundaries of innovation by making vision more accessible.
Jam 2024 is now open!
Problem: Building image classifiers requires vast amounts of data, powerful computing resources, and complex engineering. If we could build highly accurate models with minimal data, we make image AI accessible for a lot more domains and organisations.
Challenge: Develop an algorithm and an automated process to train a domain-specific image classifier using only 5 positive and 5 negative images. This methodology should be adaptable across different narrowly scoped problems simply by changing the provided training data. For example:
-
Identifying ripe fruit
-
Detecting faulty circuit boards
-
Spotting cracks in pipelines
-
Distinguishing between weeds and crops
-
… and so on.
Prizes: The winning team of Berrijam Jam 2024 will get $4000. There are also two runner-up prizes of $500 each.
The 2023 Berrijam Jam was a resounding success, featuring 18 dynamic teams and the enthusiastic participation of over 70 students.
