🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?
I'm committed to getting more people involved with PyTorch by organizing training sessions tailored for students from diverse universities. These sessions will target students enrolled in AI courses or master's programs, encouraging them to use PyTorch in their projects, theses, and research. The goal is to make PyTorch a bigger part of academic learning and inspire future AI experts in Mexico.
I've already started with introductory sessions at Tecnológico de Monterrey, where students learned about PyTorch's basics and how it can be used in AI projects. These sessions have helped me understand what students need and have paved the way for expanding to other schools.
To show how easy and versatile PyTorch is, I'll include hands-on examples in the sessions. These examples will demonstrate how PyTorch can solve real-world problems, making the sessions engaging and useful. The sessions will be available both in-person and online to reach as many people as possible.
I'm also planning to start a PyTorch blog as a central place for learning and community interaction. The blog will have tutorials for beginners, advanced projects, and insights into PyTorch's development. It will also cover topics such as continuous integration (CI), unit testing, and software development best practices, offering great resources for developers and researchers.
