How do I create a project?

Can I bring an existing project?

No. Only new projects started on November 12 will be considered for submission.

Do I need to be on a team?

Although we encourage collaboration between participants, we're also happy to have teams of one person. Like most projects, the team is intended to bring together people that want to solve a similar problem.

What types of projects can I work on?

Though this list is not exhaustive, it may provide some guidance:

  • Contributions to the dotnet/machinelearning repository
  • Build tooling for ML.NET
  • End-user applications (train and deploy machine learning models)
  • Other (trainings, videos, articles)

For some ideas, see the project ideas page or last year's submissions.

Do I have to use ML.NET?

Yes. Where you use ML.NET is your choice, but it is expected you use or extend ML.NET in your solution.

When are submissions due?

Submissions are due November 17, 2021 at 11:59 PM PDT

What do I need to submit?

  • 1-3 minute video showcasing your project.
  • Source code.

The source code does not have to run in order to be submitted.

How do I submit?

In the GitHub issue for your project, provide the link to your video as well as source code.

Make sure that the video and source code are both publicly accessible.

See the submissions/Team-1 directory for a sample submission.

What should I use to record the submission video?

We have no preference and you can use whatever software you feel most comfortable with. If you need suggestions, here is a list of them:

No need to do any fancy editing. Just show off your project or contribution.
