Note 2: To contact your teammates, please find their username in the table and feel free to start a group message with them via the forums-you can then pick a platform of your choice after the first few messages
Note by Sanyam: I’ve removed @ from usernames since there’s a limit to number of mentions, please just add your username to the table below and don’t use an @.
Good Luck!

As we reach the final chapters of the book in our reading groups, I wanted to propose the next steps and project-based learning.
Schedule:
- If you sign up, you’ll be notified, but ideally please also keep an eye out on this wiki
Starting 21st November:
Goal:
The goal of these groups is to stimulate smaller groups and force us to learn by applying.
The suggested structure will be:
- Hosting 2 week-long Kaggle Sprints
- Every 15 days, a leader will pick a suggested competition of their choice
- Groups of max 5 members will be formed, edit this is now suggested at a limit of 3, but it’s upto the teams to set the final size
- A person can join multiple teams
- The goal will be to land in the Top 10% of the LB in 15 days, using fastai as much as possible or PyTorch when needed
- You’re allowed to copy, fork, translate TF, try any ideas but the deadlines will be 15 days
- At the end of 15 days, every group will present on a demo day-the complete business problem, their solution walkthrough, results and possible improvements, things that didn’t work
Any suggestions are welcomed, ideally, this will serve as a wiki to multiple groups and everyone will self-assign themselves, this will also allow everyone to work on problems that are self-motivating.
There will be 2 calls, one via MLT and the second via fastai discord.
Thanks and Regards,
Sanyam
