DS@GT ARC Seminar Notes

This seminar prepares students for original research contributions at evaluation-focused venues like CLEF. In a dual-track format, participants will first critically analyze the AI/ML/IR applied research landscape (Kaggle, KDD, NeurIPS, TREC, CLEF) to identify viable shared tasks, foster team formation, and initiate research proposals. Simultaneously, a hands-on track develops essential skills for using Georgia Tech's PACE supercomputing cluster, including SLURM, Apptainer, and building ML/IR pipelines with PyTorch and Hugging Face.
