πŸ—οΈ Claim Your Training Credits

Dear Participants,

Welcome to the :racing_car: Learn to Race Challenge!

As announced, you will receive dedicated AWS credits for training your models for the challenge.

Please read below to see how you can claim the $50 AWS credits for yourself or for your team :point_down: This is the first set of credits that we are releasing, out of a total of $50,000 AWS credits available for training your RL agents.


:white_check_mark: Eligibility

You (or your team) must have made at least one successful submission to the challenge. Read on to understand credit availability for each round:

  • We are distributing the credits in 2 stages:
    • Currently for warm-up and Round 1, you only need to have made a successful submission to claim the $50 credit.
      • A successful submission is equivalent to the baseline that we have provided or better on any of the three metrics specified in the challenge.
      • Please request new credits once you have exhausted the $50 credit and provide proof of exhaustion of credits as well.
      • Credits will be available until we exhaust $25,000 credits.
    • For Round 2, you will need to report an increment in your previous score to receive more credits. (Stay tuned for more details)

A brief intro about you (Us and the participants would love to know what brought you to this challenge!):

:shield: We will be sending out the AWS credits every alternative day after verifying the details. After receiving your code, you can go to this website and claim your credits.

The codes are valid until May 31st, 2022

On AWS you can select an on-demand g4dnxlarge instance with a GPU required for running the simulator. We have benchmarked against T4s which takes ~12 hours for 1 training run or the baseline to converge.

I have been following Roborace since the beginning of the project and always wanted to work on it. Although, I was never able to start learning ML/AI. When I saw this challenge I thought to myself that this is the time to start learning because the things that I’d learn through this challenge would directly manifest into skills that I’ll need to break into this industry.

Happy racing! Scaling and helping to learn ML and RL is exactly why we launched the challenge.

I am a AI software engineer from china. I have developed some NLP, CV applications, and now I want to learn more about RL. This challenge is so FUN that I’d like to take this as a starting point.

With my mate, we are currently studying IT and are willing to learn more on AI. My mate is besides really interested in autonomous driving. We are diving in the challenge to improve our skills and knowledges on the subject and try to do our best to develop a convincing model.

Hello,

Submission id: #169082

Studied physics and then AI/ML/Control at KTH, Sweden. I love building self-learning systems, it is so rewarding to build a system that learns to solve a task by itself. First time building such systems for learning something safely. In previous projects, I let the agent run wild :slight_smile:
