Trelis AI grants was launched in April 2024. The program offers micro-grants of $500 to individuals pursuing advances in AI.
Grant recipients and projects will be announced at the end of each quarter in which grantees complete their project.
In the first quarter of the program (Apr-Jun 2024), eight grants were awarded - seven of which have completion dates falling between Jul-Sept 2024. The remaining grant - to Stephanie Wan - has already been completed (!) and I am announcing full details below.
The grant program remains open to new applicants and I expect to award approximately five new grants this upcoming quarter.
Grants completed in Apr-Jun 2024:
Stephanie Wan - for the creation of an author verification tool through training a BERT type model and, separately, through a feature-based approach. Try out her web app here.
That’s it for this week, a new YouTube video will be upcoming next week.
Cheers, Ronan
