Background

Hackatons

Hackathons are a 2-3 days event based on a clear problem with corresponding data from industrial partners. Their main goals are to develop a proof-of-concept, define an MVP challenge the industrial strategy, and open channels for further recruitments with multidisciplinary teams. The hackathons’ points of attention during their execution are:

  • What data to be used (liaise with Eurostat);
  • What will be the outcome;
  • Search for cross-sector use cases, avoiding silos.

Please refer to the TAILOR Hackaton User Guide to know more:

Challenges

Challenges are longer, 3 to 6 months and their focus is on a specific research problem. They aim is to push forward the boundaries of the state of art. Their main goals are:

  • Transfer results from research to address some of TAILOR applied problems.
  • Combine research and industrial partners inside and outside the project to work on and ambitious use case, sets of data, results usability.

Benchmarks

Benchmarks are datasets composed of tests and metrics to measure the performance of AI systems on specific tasks. They are used to comparing a model or process to existing methods.
