Prognosic Sponsored Prize
Prognosic, backed by Hack Club (501(c)(3) EIN: 81-2908499), offers instant dataset access in just 2 lines of code, making ML model training easy.
I'm sure you'd agree with me on one thing that it takes quite a bit of time to get the right datasets to feed into your ML models. And sometimes, if you are in a hackathon, you'd not need to waste time on finding a right dataset for your ML project.
Trying to solve this problem, I've built an API where you'd get the required datasets within a few lines of code, by sending a GET request on the 'get_images' endpoint.
Example Usage:
An example would be that you'd want to make a simple CNN model to detect lung cancer (taking a very basic example for the sake of it), you could just do "images = fetch_images(condition="lung_cancer_ct", stage=stage2, num=2500)". I'll add more parameters as well to make it specific and of the right dimensions as well. Within a few seconds, a folder of 2500 required images will be downloaded in the same directory.
The actual prize: An opportunity to work with the founders.
Tintype Sponsored Track
Build an innovative app in AR, MR, New Media, or Robotics while managing your project entirely with Tintype. Use its Project Threads for communication, real-time file syncing, and Project Insights to stay aligned and on track.
Prizes: Winners will receive a cash prize and exclusive Tintype merch!
(All teams must use Tintype during the hackathon.)
