- If this is your first demo, we recommend Gradio — it’s the easiest.
- Build the demo directly in a Space at hf.co/somosnlp-hackathon and iterate there.
- What to include in the demo: project motivation, impact, future ideas, the corresponding UN Sustainable Development Goal number if applicable, links to the dataset and model used, team members, and anything else you find useful to promote your project 🤗
- Build a clear, intuitive demo.

The recordings will be played live with the jury — we recommend at least one person from the team try to join the live session in case any questions come up. Best of luck! 🤗

Guide
Content:
- The video must be at most 5:00 minutes long (strict maximum)
- The presentation content is up to you — feel free to focus on what you think is most valuable about your project
- We generally recommend the following outline: motivation, methodology, results, analysis, conclusion, and next steps
Format:
- Record your screen during a Zoom or Teams meeting (Google Meet is not allowed) in which all team members are present (ideally)
- Everyone present must speak
- The video can’t be edited — share the raw recording directly
- Confirm the audio was recorded along with the video
- Upload the recording to Drive and share it with mariagrandury [at] gmail [dot] com

📝 Optional: write a paper
With the help of researchers, write a paper presenting your project and submit it to a Workshop at an international NLP conference.
Incentives
- Gain research experience and visibility
- If your paper is accepted, you’ll have the chance to travel to present it in person!
Resources
- We recommend the workshop where Diana Galván, Chair of the LatinX in NLP 2024 Workshop, shared lots of advice: “Abstract writing workshop”
- Workshop slides available at github.com/somosnlp/recursos
- You can also watch the workshop from the previous edition for more tips: “Preparing an ML research project”.
We’ll reach out to teams that let us know they’re interested so we can organize mentorships and decide which Workshop to submit the papers to 🚀
