About The Hackathon
LLM Hackathon for Applications in Materials Science & Chemistry
Recently Large-language models (LLMs) caught the interest of many scientists. Recent studies suggested that these models could be useful in chemistry and materials science. To explore these possibilities, we started organizing a hackathon to showcase LLM applications in materials science and chemistry back in 2023 showcasing 14 examples of LLM applications published in Digital Discovery.
In 2024, 34 projects were submitted accross 7 on-sites and virtually which can be found in arXiv.Organizing Team
