FAQ
What are we doing during the one month program?
Basically, we design a deep learning model and fully implement using TensorFlow. It is also possible to (re) implement a published paper (by others) and adapt it for new datasets. Based on this, each participants will propose their own plans in their application.
What type of Visa is required for foreigners?
A: No visa is required for most countries. Please check at http://www.immigration.go.kr/HP/IMM80/imm_04/imm_p01/vm3.jsp
Can I apply for partial participation? (i.e. only weekends)
Unfortunately No.
Is this only for students?
No. Anyone who can spend one full month in Jeju Island in Korea, and work from 10AM-5PM during the weekdays can apply.
Is this a contest?
No, this is not a contest. Individuals will have different projects.
Is this a training or teaching program?
This is not specifically a teaching event. The applicant should have good understandings on programming, machine learning/deep learning, and TensorFlow. However, we will provide mentors to assist you on your project.
Will data for training be provided or it is up to participants?
We will provide some public data sets but participants can also utilize their own data.
Should I bring my laptop?
We won’t provide PCs. You need to bring your laptop. However, we will provide cloud server credits.
Training takes a lot of time and computing power. Does the camp provide any support?
We will provide cloud server credits.
What are the criteria for selecting applicants?
There is no formal criteria, but we are looking for interesting and feasible projects.
What if the attendee cannot complete the work that they submitted?
There is no penalty, but mentors will guide each participant to success.
Can developers/researchers working on longer term projects like http://ai-on.org/projects/cardiac-mri-segmentation.html apply? In this case, one month may not be sufficient time to finish the work. Is it OK to apply?
It’s OK. As long as the project is interesting, we will consider it. You can also propose a small portion of a larger project that you wish to work on for a month.
Is this only for deep learning? Can I propose a reinforcement learning project?
Yes, reinforcement learning is acceptable. Feel free to include other types of interesting machine learning projects.
Can I participate in a keynote session or open seminars even though I am not a camp participant?
Yes, the keynote and open seminars are open to everyone. We will have a separate announcement regarding keynote sessions and open seminars.
Will you also be recruiting staff members for the camp?
Sorry, but we have no current plans to recruit staff members.
I do have more questions. Where should I contact?
Please use the issue (https://github.com/TensorFlowKR/MLJejuCamp/issues) of this page to ask questions.
