Learn how developers used Intel® oneAPI Tools and Intel® Tiber™ Developer Cloud for AI project development
Intel sponsored the LA Hacks 2024 collegiate hackathon organized by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) on April 19-21. The participants benefitted from Intel® Tiber™ Developer Cloud, the official cloud compute sponsor of the event. Team Intel helped them with technical troubleshooting of their projects and introduced them to Intel’s AI Everywhere campaign, Intel® Liftoff program for startups, Intel® Student Ambassador Programs, and Educator Program.
This blog will give you an overview of the hackathon and the winning projects that leveraged Intel’s resources to their best.
Here are some key highlights of the event:
- 1000+ students participated in the hackathon.
- Around 550 new users signed up to Intel Tiber Developer Cloud.
- Nearly 200 students learned about Intel Tiber Developer Cloud, Intel’s AI software optimizations powered by oneAPl, essentials of generative AI (GenAI) (such as Large Language Models or LLMs and stable diffusion) and building custom chatbot using faster inference capabilities of Intel® Extension for Transformers.
- Team Intel joined hands with 3 accelerator programs of the university - Startup UCLA, UCLA Anderson Venture Accelerator, and UCLA undergrad accelerator.
Winner Projects at LA Hacks Hackathon
Following were the top AI projects that won the ‘Best Use of Intel Tiber Developer Cloud’ track at the hackathon:
- Soundscape, the 1st prize winner, is an application that generates real-time adaptive music through an AI-driven composition engine. It performs real-time location tracking and user preference analysis to generate soundtracks dynamically. The team used Intel Tiber Developer Cloud for backend optimization to ensure the responsiveness and scalability of the application. The project was ranked 3rd among the overall LA Hacks winners.
- Aide-n, the 2nd prize winner, is an application that can help people with common injuries. Through image-to-text generation technique, it first converts the input image of an injury into a textual description which is then fed into an LLM that generates potential solution of the injury. The team used Intel’s architectures and Intel® Extension for PyTorch* to build optimized LLM on Intel Tiber Developer Cloud.
- Scribe, the 3rd prize winner, is an AI tool to empower doctors with data-driven, accurate diagnosis of patients’ health conditions. It aims at preventing contradictions such as medication errors and misdiagnosis. The team leveraged computational power of resources available on Intel Tiber Developer Cloud for fine-tuning open-source LLM.
All the winning team members were awarded free credits of Intel Tiber Developer Cloud for further enhancement of their projects. The 1st-place winner team members also received a Samsung* AI PC each.
