Event Overview:
The AI Hackathon is a multidisciplinary technical competition focused on applying Artificial Intelligence to solve real-world challenges across critical domains such as Environment, Healthcare, and Fintech.
The event encourages participants to design innovative, ethical, and scalable AI-driven solutions that demonstrate both technical depth and societal impact.
With an emphasis on problem understanding, data-driven decision-making, explainability, and responsible AI practices, the hackathon provides a platform for students to translate theoretical knowledge into practical, real-world applications.
Introduction:
The AI Hackathon aims to foster innovation, collaboration, and applied learning among aspiring technologists.
Participants will:
Identify and analyze real-world problem statements across predefined tracks.
Design and prototype AI-based solutions using appropriate datasets and tools.
Demonstrate feasibility through working prototypes or simulations.
Present solutions with a focus on impact, ethics, and scalability.
The event is structured to support participants of varying skill levels, from beginner-friendly approaches to advanced AI techniques.
Tracks & Problem Statements:
Track 1: Environment:
AI-Based Visibility Estimator in Fog, Dust, or Smog
Problem Statement: Reduced visibility due to atmospheric conditions poses risks to transportation and public safety.
Objective: Develop an AI system that estimates visibility quality using limited inputs such as light source type, approximate particle density, and distance.
Expected Outcome: Classification of visibility conditions as Safe, Risky, or Unreliable.
Hyper-Local Pollution Forecaster
Problem Statement: City-level AQI data lacks sufficient granularity for localized decision-making.
Objective: Build a predictive model to forecast pollution hotspots at a hyper-local level using historical climate data and satellite imagery.
Approach Levels:
Beginner: Time-series forecasting of AQI using open datasets.
Advanced: Correlating traffic density with pollution spikes and suggesting emission-reducing traffic strategies.
The “Zero-Waste” Vision (Computer Vision)
Problem Statement: Inefficient waste segregation remains a major barrier to effective recycling.
Objective: Design an AI-powered computer vision system to classify waste items (E-waste, Organic, Plastic, Metal, Glass) and suggest correct disposal or reuse methods.
Approach Levels:
Beginner: Static image classification using pre-trained models.
Advanced: Real-time waste detection with carbon footprint estimation.
Track 2: Healthcare:
CareQueue: AI-Assisted Hospital Queue Optimization
Problem Statement: Inefficient scheduling and resource allocation increase patient waiting times.
Objective: Optimize outpatient scheduling and hospital resource usage to reduce average wait times.
Deliverables: Simulation or dashboard demonstrating scheduling improvements and predicted wait-time reduction.
MedAssist: Voice-Driven Medication Adherence Helper
Problem Statement: Elderly patients frequently miss medication doses due to complex regimens.
Objective: Develop a privacy-first voice-based assistant for medication reminders, adherence logging, basic queries, and caregiver notifications.
Post-Operative Remote Monitoring
Problem Statement: Post-surgical patients lack continuous monitoring after discharge.
Objective: Design an analytics system using wearable-device data to track recovery trends and flag potential health risks.
Approach Levels:
Beginner: Dashboard-based visualization and alerts.
Advanced: Predictive modeling to forecast deterioration trends.
Track 3: Fintech:
MicroCreditScore: Inclusive Credit Scoring
Problem Statement: Individuals without formal credit histories are excluded from financial systems.
Objective: Build an explainable credit scoring model using non-traditional, anonymized data sources while ensuring fairness and privacy.
InvoiceVerify: AI-Based Invoice Reconciliation
Problem Statement: Small businesses struggle to reconcile physical invoices with digital records.
Objective: Develop a computer-vision-based system to extract invoice data, reconcile records, and flag discrepancies.
The “Invisible” Fraud Detector
Problem Statement: Traditional fraud detection systems generate high false-positive rates.
Objective: Create a real-time fraud detection engine using behavioral and contextual data.
Approach Levels:
Beginner: Transaction classification using traditional ML models.
Advanced: Graph-based fraud detection with explainable outputs.
