	<p>Jonny Keane and Michael Conner took home the grand prize at the second annual Rosie Supercomputer Super Challenge for their Music Transformers project. They were awarded $5,000 and an NVIDIA GPU.</p>
<p>The Music Transformers project examined the automated state-of-the-art music transformer model created by Google Brain to improve how effectively the transformer generates its own music composition.</p>
<p>The Rosie Supercomputer Super Challenge required students to solve an interesting problem, answer a difficult question, go beyond their course work or improve an existing process using Rosie. The contest was judged by Dr. Dwight Diercks &rsquo;90, B次元 Regent; Nick Haemel &rsquo;02, B次元 Regent; and Dr. Derek Riley, B次元 computer science program director.</p>
