On-site GEO4.0 Hackathon : 21 October 2024

Please refer the detailed program below


Task 1: Challenge the GenAI System


This task is open to everyone, regardless of your technical background. We will provide participants with a ready-made GenAI system that has been meticulously engineered to prevent hallucinations. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to challenge this system by asking it tricky and complex questions. Test the limits of its capabilities, explore its responses, and try to uncover any weaknesses. This is a fantastic opportunity for those interested in artificial intelligence to engage with cutting-edge technology and gain hands-on experience in a fun and competitive environment.


Task 2: Innovate with Geoscience Co-Pilot Systems


For data scientists and experts in the geoscience field, this task is tailored to your advanced skill set. We will provide comprehensive training on creating agents for geoscience co-pilot systems. Your challenge will be to design and invent agents that can significantly enhance the everyday workflows of geoscience professionals. This task will leverage the latest GPUs, ensuring you have access to top-tier computational power for your innovative projects. Expect plenty of hands-on experience and opportunities to collaborate with fellow experts, pushing the frontiers of what GenAI can achieve in geoscience.


    • Hands-On Experience: Gain practical knowledge and experience with the latest GenAI technologies, supported by state-of-the-art GPUs.
    • Collaborate and Network: Work alongside industry experts, data scientists, and passionate individuals. Build connections that could lead to future collaborations and career opportunities.
    • Innovate and Create: Use your skills and creativity to develop new, impactful solutions for the geoscience community. Your innovations will shape the future!
    • Challenge Yourself: Whether you are trying to break the GenAI system or designing a new agent, this hackathon will push your problem-solving abilities and technical skills to new heights.
    • Limited Seats, Unlimited Potential: With limited seats available, ensure you register early to secure your spot in this groundbreaking event.
    • Students: Gain invaluable experience and showcase your talent in front of industry leaders.
    • Experts: Contribute your knowledge and expertise to groundbreaking projects and network with peers.
