Unfortunately, I created this contest to help build up university groups, so I think keeping the contest limited to enrolled students (including students who are entering college later this year and students who will graduate before the contest ends) would be the best way to ensure that students feel like they have an advantage in the contest. Thank you for clarifying!
other thoughts: Abram’s decision theory and Vanessa’s infrabayes work might be good for distillation. Also, might be worth thinking about some type of collab with current distillers, such as Robert Miles or Mark Xu, and the site distill.pub?
Distill was never really about distillations in the sense this post is referring to. It was a journal that focused on having very high-quality presentation/visualizations. It’s also no longer active: https://distill.pub/2021/distill-hiatus/
I am referring to people that chose alternative career paths to AI, autodidacts and independent ML researchers for example.

Oh, great idea! If nothing else, distill.pub is a great resource for me to list!
Thanks for pointing that out!
