Arithemania 5.0

Arithemania 5.0 – National Level Hackathon (Hybrid: Online + Offline) Arithemania 5.0 is a national-level hackathon where teams move from idea to working product through a fast pitch round and an intensive build phase, ending with an on-campus finale. Eligibility & Team Formation: Open to undergraduate students across India Teams of 2 to 4 members Inter-college and inter-specialization teams allowed Tracks: Participants will choose from the following tracks, each centered on applied mathematics and computational thinking: Geometry & Spatial Intelligence: Focuses on how systems understand shapes, images, and space using mathematical reasoning. This includes areas like computer vision, graphics, robotics, and mapping. Use of transformations, coordinate systems, and shape analysis Systems that process or generate visual or spatial data Clear impact of math on accuracy or efficiency Practical builds like image tools, 3D reconstruction, or visualization systems Example ideas: image alignment, 3D scene reconstruction, protein structure matching, fractal generators Statistical Learning & Data Intelligence: Centers on building data-driven systems using statistics and probability. Use of models like regression, Bayesian methods, or time-series Clear data pipeline from input to output Justified model choices and performance evaluation Outputs such as predictions, insights, or visualizations Example ideas: stock prediction, weather forecasting, anomaly detection, data insight tools Simulation, Modeling & Computational Systems: Focuses on modeling real-world systems through mathematical abstractions. Use of simulations, numerical methods, or iterative models Ability to show system behavior over time Clear assumptions and interpretable outputsExample ideas: Monte Carlo risk tools, neural network visualizers, synthetic data generators Open Innovation: No domain restrictions. Teams are free to build any impactful solution across technology, as long as there is clear problem solving and technical depth. Format & Timeline: 01–07 Apr: Registrations + 2-minute pitch submission 07 Apr: Top 40 shortlisted 08–09 Apr: Development phase with GitHub tracking and nightly reviews, narrowed to Top 10 12 Apr: Final presentations, talks, and prize distribution (on campus) Rules: Original work only Participation in reviews is mandatory Progress tracked via GitHub Plagiarism leads to disqualification Judges’ decisions are final
