Help Conduct Chess AI Research - Paid Opportunity!

Hey r/chess,

Our research team, including a IM, is looking for individuals interested in conducting research on visually encoding a chess board using AI. The research involves taking a picture of a chess board and providing us with the image. Instructions can be found here. This is a paid opportunity with compensation of $1.75 per submission (estimated hourly rate of $21.00 as each submission takes roughly 5 mins).

The aim of this research is to use the images collected to train artificial intelligence models to better understand and interpret chess boards positions, enabling automated chess annotations via a mobile application.

Here is an example video of our results:
