Hackathon

June 20th - 21st

Team of 4/5 get paired with a mentor. Apply what you learned throughout the summer school to build a model that can predict various molecular properties. 

 

See if you can top the leaderboards! 
 

Who should attend? 

To get the most out of the summer school, we recommend that you only register if you have a solid understanding of mathematics and statistics with basic experience in Python and building ML models. The ideal participant in the summer school should fit at least one of these profiles: 
 

1. AI experts (data scientists, ML engineers, or others) capable of understanding and manipulating biochemistry and chemistry concepts


2. Biochemists/biologists/chemists with programming skills and a foundation in ML

I'm confused about the programming, can you clarify?

The summer school lectures will run for 5 days (June 12th - 18th) and end with a 2-day hackathon (June 20th - 21st). We will host the 2024 Molecular Machine Learning Conference (MoML) on June 19th between the lectures and the hackathon. 

 

Individuals can purchase tickets to MoML separately without attending the summer school. However, you automatically get access to the conference if you register for the summer school. 

I'm a student, are there discounts for me? 

Students can register for the summer school at a discounted price of $150. 

​

MoML 2024 is free to attend for all students.

When/where exactly is the summer school being held?

The summer school (June 12th - 18th), MoML 2024 (June 19th), and the hackathon (June 20th - 21st) are all being held at Mila - Quebec AI Institute (6666 Rue Saint-Urbain, Montreal QC H2S 3H1)
