The topic
🤖 Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 🤖
Develop an AI/ML solution using InterSystems IRIS. Your application could be a library, package, tool, or any AI/ML solution which uses InterSystems IRIS.
Here are the requirements:
- Accepted applications: new to Open Exchange apps or existing ones, but with a significant improvement. Our team will review all applications before approving them for the contest.
- Build the app that either uses AI/ML capabilities with InterSystems IRIS.
- The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition or IRIS Advanced Analytics Community Edition.
- The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.
- The README file to the application should be in English, contain the installation steps, and contain either the video demo or/and a description of how the application works.
- Source code of the InterSystems ObjectScript part (if any)should be available in UDL format (not XML). Example.
The requirements above are subject to change.
➡️ Some ideas for contestants.
Use Embedded Python to join the current contest!
Embedded Python is a new feature of InterSystems IRIS that gives you the option to use python as a "first-class citizen" in backend business logic development with InterSystems classes.
Embedded Python could be used in "on-demand" images that could be delivered via InterSystems InterSystems Early Access Program (EAP) if you refer to python-interest@intersystems.com. More details here.
