August 17 ~ August 26, 2020

If you have interests in machine learning/deep learning and blockchain, you should want to have a chance to implement non-trivial and decent applications for those deeply. Here is a good news. We invite you to join the 10-day long University Machine Learning & Blockchain Camp in Jeju 2020, where you can do that and have a fun and unforgettable memory with your friends from other universities. For the period, we will design and train a deep learning model and blockchain applications using TensorFlow, Pytorch and other frameworks from start-to-finish with your mentor. We might have access to some more mentors/experts to help you to implement your idea. We hope you get the benefit of this wonderful opportunity. All of you guys selected as attendees(mentors and mentees) will be provided with rooms and meals during the camp at Jeju National University in Jeju, South Korea. Round-trip airfare to Jeju Island will be covered fully for the attendees. In addition to these benefits, participants will get valuable and practical experiences in the field of machine learning/deep learning & blockchain. We look forward to your application!
