Are you passionate about deep learning and have ideas that could solve real-world problems?
Over the next few months, we're hosting a series of activities to help you elevate your DL and computer vision application development skills using the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.
Participate and Win!
We're hosting a monthly survey/quiz to test your knowledge of the OpenVINO toolkit. Participate in one or all for a chance to win one of hundreds of Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2, a plug and play development kit that offers high performance and low power for AI inferencing. The NCS2 is one of the many great tools to use when exploring an application using OpenVINO.
How Will You Use Your DL Superpower?
Unleash Your DL Superpower
A Superbot Companion
Boost your DL superpowers with the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit. Watch the Video Learning Series and take the quiz to complete this quest.
Hackster influencer Alex Glow is building F3N - a fox companion robot. Submit your solutions to try on Fen using the OpenVINO toolkit's pre-trained models.
Imagine you’re a superhero. What real-world problems would you solve using your DL superpowers? Share your big ideas with us!
