🏆 Featured NVIDIA Nemotron Reasoning Challenge — solver-distilled curriculum feeding a LoRA adapter

NVIDIA Nemotron Reasoning Challenge

Kaggle competition on few-shot rule induction across 6 reasoning problem types (bit manipulation, physics gravity, unit conversion, numeral systems, symbol transform, encryption ciphers). Approach: a solver-distilled curriculum of verified teacher examples used to fine-tune NVIDIA's Nemotron-3-Nano with LoRA. The physics-gravity generator was not observed in the public competitor notebooks reviewed.

Built deterministic per-type solvers and generated 21,311 curated training records across 5 of the 6 problem types. Round-trip re-verification caught errors in the synthetic generators. A rank-32 LoRA training pipeline was implemented for the 30B model, targeting Kaggle's vLLM inference backend.

Final score: 0.588 Rank: 3571 / 4182

Fruit ripeness classification stages: Unripe, Breaker, Turning, Ripe

Fruit Classification (Thesis)

Final year thesis (2020): built a YOLOv4-based computer vision pipeline to classify fruits by ripeness (green vs. ripe) using color analysis. Designed for agricultural sorting simulation. Implemented with Python, OpenCV, and deep learning training from scratch on a custom dataset.
