From phrases like ‘deep learning is what makes AI possible’ to a ‘practice guide’ that references Python and Pytorch and Transformers, amongst other things, and apparently a 4-hour contest format, this can only be taken as a joke.
I think that a more fitting name for the contest should is IOAPI, as it’s probably all that a student could do in 4 hours.
Or the ‘International Olympiad of asking your parents to give you money for compute’, depending on the format, whichever you like best.
I rest my case.
