UH students tackle real-world issues at AI hackathon

Five challenge topics pushed students to apply diverse skills toward local and statewide resilience efforts.

This was just the second year the UH Mānoa team competed at the national competition since the formation of the club in September 2022.

The workshop goal was to advance research in parallel algorithms, while fostering global collaborations and long-term partnerships.

The event brought together collegiate teams from the continental U.S. and Hawaiʻi, including six UH campuses.

Participants tackled topics such as sustainable tourism, Hawaiian culture, carbon footprint and more.

UH Mānoa students had the opportunity to engage with leading-edge research and participate in discussions on cybersecurity policy.

UH partners with Google, offering free AI training and career certificates, empowering students with in-demand skills for a competitive edge.

These studies advance biomedical text analysis, automatic text summarization generalization, and the evolution of text summarization methods.

The free open-source software enables teams to collaborate seamlessly across devices while integrating AI capabilities.

In the Fiscal Year 2023 survey, UH Mānoa ranked No. 92 nationally, and excelled in ocean sciences, astronomy and Earth sciences.
