BYOR: Bring Your Own Research
Hello,
Welcome to a weekend of focused research.
No prizes, no pressure. Just 48 hours to pursue a research question in AI that matters to you, in the company of 20 others doing the same. Whether you're stress-testing a hypothesis, exploring a promising line of inquiry, or prototyping a new method, this is time carved out to push your thinking forward.
Who Is This For?
AI Researchers, engineers, and students who:
• Have a well-formed question or direction they’re eager to explore
• Want to treat research as an active process by not just reading, but doing
• Are comfortable working outside rigid institutional structures
• Might be looking for collaborators who value both ambition and intellectual honesty
What’s the Format?
• Submit with 1–2 research papers, tweets, or blog posts that sparked your current line of thought
• Form teams before the weekend if interests align, or work independently
• Kick off with 3-minute thesis introductions from each team or solo researcher
• Then, sprint: 48 hours of focused, self-driven research
No fixed themes. Just this: What could you uncover if you gave one research question your full attention for a weekend?
