Classes

W&B is a great tool for learning and collaboration. We offer free academic accounts, and we've collected some good resources for helping you and your students navigate complex machine learning projects.
Features
Academic Teams
Request an academic team to get started having your students submit results to a shared workspace. Grading projects is easy when you can see the real, tracked results and the code that students used to generate models.
Reports
Ask your students to submit reports so you can explore their results and compare new projects against previous baselines. Reports make it easy to describe intermediate results and show progress, and all the graphs are connected to real model results that you can reproduce. View an example report →​
Competitions
Create a project in your academic team, and have your students compete to achieve the best accuracy on a shared task. Here's a screenshot of an example competition. Each row is a different experiment, and users are competing for the highest accuracy. View the project →​
Resources
Example script repo
We've built up a set of working examples of deep learning projects in different frameworks.
​View the GitHub repo →​
We also created some hosted notebooks with models that your students can start training for free with the click of a button.
​PyTorch introduction with screenshots
​Keras MNIST example
​TensorFlow 2 convolutional neural network
Tutorials
Lukas and Chris have built a library of short tutorial projects with notes on each class section. Reach out to [email protected] with questions.
