Hello Codeforces!
On Feb/16/2023 17:35 (Moscow time) Educational Codeforces Round 143 (Rated for Div. 2) will start.
Series of Educational Rounds continue being held as Harbour.Space University initiative! You can read the details about the cooperation between Harbour.Space University and Codeforces in the blog post.
This round will be rated for the participants with rating lower than 2100. It will be held on extended ICPC rules. The penalty for each incorrect submission until the submission with a full solution is 10 minutes. After the end of the contest, you will have 12 hours to hack any solution you want. You will have access to copy any solution and test it locally.
You will be given 6 or 7 problems and 2 hours to solve them.
The problems were invented and prepared by Adilbek adedalic Dalabaev, Vladimir vovuh Petrov, Ivan BledDest Androsov, Maksim Neon Mescheryakov and me. Also, huge thanks to Mike MikeMirzayanov Mirzayanov for great systems Polygon and Codeforces.
Good luck to all the participants!
Our friends at Harbour.Space also have a message for you:
Hello Codeforces!
We look forward to seeing Mike Mirzayanov and Nikolay Kalinin again at our Barcelona campus when they teach Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures.
In this course, students focus on key and in-depth algorithms and data structures that form a modern computer specialist’s toolkit.
We are always excited to see Codeforces participants as our students at Harbour.Space! Once again we are giving a special discount for the single course participation in Barcelona, Spain (travel costs and accommodation are not included).
50% of the spots have been filled already, hurry up not to miss your opportunity to get selected!
At Harbour.Space University, we continue providing work-study opportunities; in this case, we offer motivated Data Scientists the opportunity to work and study in Barcelona in partnership with Noventiq, the leading global solutions and services provider in digital transformation and cybersecurity.
We are looking to distribute scholarships for intensive study programmes at the highest level for eligible candidates that will join our journey.
Candidates will be working on the following tasks:
- Invent and implement approaches to solving problems of computer vision and machine learning, form requirements together with the team;
- Plan experiments, train models, evaluate their quality and embed them in pipelines;
- Work with data, the formation of technical requirements for markup;
- Register the results of training runs of models and track the dynamics of their performance;
- Write algorithms for pre and post-processing of images and videos, the logic of scenarios for processing media data;
- Conduct research in the field of Computer Vision: classification, detection, segmentation;
- Engage in the optimization of neural networks: distillation, quantization, pruning;
- Prepare models for production.
- Carry out the development of custom algorithms and modules for our video analytics platform
All successful applicants will be eligible for a 100% Tuition Fee Scholarship (22.900 €/year) provided by Noventiq company for the Data Science programme.
