ML Olympiad: Globally Distributed ML Competitions by the Community
Posted by Hee Jung, DevRel Community Manager
We are happy to announce ML Olympiad, an associated Kaggle Community Competitions hosted by
Machine Learning Google Developer Experts (ML GDE) and TensorFlow User Group (TFUG).
Kaggle recently announced
"Community Competitions" allowing anyone to create and host a competition at no
cost. And our proud members of ML communities decided to dive in and take advantage of the
feature to solve critical issues of our time, providing opportunities to train developers.
Why the ML Olympiad?
To train ML for developers leveraging Kaggle’s community competition. This is an opportunity
for the participants to practice ML. This is the first 2022 global campaign of the ML
Ecosystem team and this helps build stronger communities.
