Context: traingenerator is a simple web app to generate template code for machine learning, built with streamlit. It supports PyTorch & scikit-learn and exports to .py, Jupyter notebook, or Google Colab.
Small research grants for students/independent researchers.
I'd suggest something like 5k for a 3 months project. Applicant has to hand in a short proposal in the beginning and publish his code/data/results as open source. There are many great research ideas to work on independently today (e. g. in AI), but it's pretty much impossible to get money/recognition for that. For example, such a program would enable students to work on their own idea during the summer break (and in some cases produce something valuable for others), instead of doing some meaningless stuff at an internship.
