Cloudera, the data company for trusted enterprise AI, announced the winners of its first-ever Climate and Sustainability Hackathon. The competition, hosted in collaboration with AMD, a high performance and adaptive computing company, invited data scientists from across the globe to develop end-to-end Accelerated Machine Learning Projects (AMPs) focused on solving the many environmental challenges facing the world today. AMPs are fully built, end-to-end data science solutions that can be deployed with a single click directly from Cloudera or accessed and built via public GitHub repositories. The unique, open-source community offers a comprehensive framework for building, deploying, and monitoring business-ready machine learning applications instantly. To facilitate swift, powerful computations and breakthrough innovations, Hackathon participants were granted access to Cloudera machine learning, powered by AMD hardware, to develop their own AMPs. Cloudera provided guidance on the types of climate challenges participants were welcome to address—including improving carbon stock calculations, advancing climate-smart agriculture, and addressing the global water crisis.
