  • hone machine learning research skills with open problems
  • find project ideas for a deep learning portfolio
  • share solutions to open research problems

When to choose

  • you want well-scoped open problems to build deep learning research experience
  • you are a newcomer looking for guidance on what problems are worth working on

When to avoid

  • you need maintained, up-to-date problem lists or support
  • you want production software rather than a problem list
