We’re excited to see competitors using TPUs to build their solutions in this competition.
\n\nTPUs are powerful hardware accelerators specialized in deep learning tasks. They were developed (and first used) by Google to process large image databases, such as extracting all the text from Street View and we recently integrated them into Kaggle Notebooks.
\n\nWe would like to offer a new ‘TPU Stars’ opportunity to award 5 of the most knowledgeable and helpful TPU experts in the community . The winners will receive an extra 20 hours of TPU time on Kaggle for four weeks.
\n\nHow to win?
\n\n\"TPU Star\" award will be evaluated by experts from the Google Cloud TPU team, on the following criteria:
\n\nYou may become eligible for these prizes either of two ways:\n- Kaggle-identified: Kaggle will query all participants in the competition contributing upvoted public notebook(s) and making discussion contribution(s).\n- Self-nominated: We'll open up a form at the end of the competition to self-nominate for consideration. At a minimum, you must have shared a public notebook which uses Kaggle's TPU integration.
\n\nGood luck,\nThe Kaggle Team
